But that is changing the spec, and many would be rather unhappy about a unilateral spec change. Ideally, all mail and news clients should always have used automatic wrapping, including getting quoting right. But when email/news was invented, most clients had fixed fonts and fixed size windows, so wrapping wasn't considered. Instead, all halfway-decent mail/news clients have the ability to set line lengths. Or in other words, the historic design decision has been to place the burden of line breaking on the sender, not the receiver. Alan Bellingham -- ACCU Conference 2007 - venue to be determined.
