Hi,

Do you know how I can change automatic line breaking column ?
I would like to have narrower letters and now I have to use
"Enter" a lot.

Is it possible to automaticly justify letters in such way that each
line is filled up to line breaking point ?

How can I change character for included messages (>) ?

Thanks in advance,
Kacper

Kacper,

Pine does not currently have a way to change the wrap column.  A hack that
will make Pine use shorter lines is to run "stty cols 70" or some such
before entering Pine.  This will cause it to think the screen is actually
narrower than it is and thus break on shorter lines.  The drawback of this
is that Pine uses the narrower width for everything... 

We plan to improve the justification done by the composer.  I don't know 
when/if we will implement full justification though...

There is not currently an option to change the '>' character.  This is on
the list of requested enhancements.
