The fact that some email client automaticaly insert CR/LF to linewrap (=hardwrap) does not force other email client to do the same, email clients able to read mails without hardwrap are also able to read emails with, the only thing important is to know if every email client is able to read emails without hardwrap, and if yes, why is it encouraged to use hardwrap. > You can't force all the world to do that for you.

The fact that some people cannot write messages without hardwrap does not mean that everyone should, the only point is to know if there is people who cannot read messages without hardwrap... >> No, i do not want a wordprocessor paragraph formatting : emails are >> just text, and does not contain any special formatting like space >> between paragraphs,...

Yes i need to because i do not want to wrap on screen nope, i like to write like i read : using the whole size of my screen. If i set "Wrap text at" to 76, WinEd do wrap my text on my screen (even if it do not add CR/LF) at the 76th chars, to avoid that and use the whole size of the editor window, i must set the "wrap text at" to a really big value (the maximum, 32000). To use WinEd like i want, i must set "Wrap text at 32000", but to respect the rules of some list, i need to use MicroEd with "Wrap text at 76", it would be great to define that in the template, so i can use my prefered settings most of the time, but enable hardwrap when i write to a list requesting it... | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
