Subject: Word-wrap?

Does anyone know whether it is possible to change the number of
columns - some of my mails get messed up by other systems -
I'd like to get it down to around 65 or so.

Thanks for any help.

Currently not possible in pine-3.91 but will supposedly be available
in the next release.

An alternative is to use the alternate editor feature and use an
editor where you can control the number of columns.  Works like a
charm.

OK now don't laugh, because I have read the other posts about 
'alternative editors' and such, and IMHO yes pine (actually pico) doesn't 
support it, your terminal program might ... I'm using Windowz terminal 
... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... excuse me I fell asleep there for a 
minute ... Uuhhhh ... anyway, you can set it to word wrap outgoing text 
(mine is to to column 70, but the default is 79 which is NFG) ... anyway 
where was I ... Oh yes, Check your communications software, maybe that 
can do it?   Hope this helps ... only my 895 cents worth (plus tax) G'Day

     `joe' is a *great* text editor that is simple like `pico', but as
     powerful as `vi'..I use it as the alternate editor and it works
     great...It's available for UNIX, but I doubt it's available for
     MS-DOS.
