I think Jamnntpd should adjust the        TK>> WRAP_WIDTH setting according to the "flowed" setting and not wrap        TK>> lines with "flowed on".               NB> If I'm understanding you correctly, WRAP_WIDTH should remain 72 only        NB> when 'def_flowed=off', and when 'def_flowed=on' it should be disabled        NB> completely? If that's the case, I agree.              In format=flowed, long lines are wrapped but they have a trailing space. The       client, if it supports this format, joins the lines, showing them as a       paragraph.              From RFC-2646:       ---------------------------------       Generating Format=Flowed              When generating Format=Flowed text, lines SHOULD be shorter than 80       characters. As suggested values, any paragraph longer than 79       characters in total length could be wrapped using lines of 72 or       fewer characters. While the specific line length used is a matter of       aesthetics and preference, longer lines are more likely to require       rewrapping and to encounter difficulties with older mailers. It has       been suggested that 66 character lines are the most readable.              (The reason for the restriction to 79 or fewer characters between       CRLFs on the wire is to ensure that all lines, even when displayed by       a non-flowed-aware program, will fit in a standard 80-column screen       without having to be wrapped. The limit is 79, not 80, because while       80 fit on a line, the last column is often reserved for a line-wrap       indicator.)              When creating flowed text, the generating agent wraps, that is,       inserts 'soft' line breaks as needed. Soft line breaks are added       between words. Because a soft line break is a SP CRLF sequence, the       generating agent creates one by inserting a CRLF after the occurance       of a space.       ---------------------------------              Carlos              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: cyberiada (2:341/234.1)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260 135/220       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 5054/30       PATH: 341/234 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
