Subject: Proper text wrapping in pine

Hello,
 does someone know if pine4.10 has those fancy abilities
as this piece of SW? See http://www.xs4all.nl/~js/gnksa/gnksa-tools.html,
follow link to wrapping.tar.gz in Related tools sect. There are some
other nice tools too!

I can't test right now, but as I remember, I always had problems
with pico editor, even with 4.10. It claimed to be able to work with
lines up-to 80 or 85 chars/line, but always mangled e-mails sent
from stupid Windoze mailers. Specially, if the message was already
quoted by sender, pico always while replying changed line endings.

I think using these two functions would solve the problem.
Is somewhere configurable to turn off text-wrapping in pine?

TIA
Martin

No. It's a feature of the internal composer. So use a different text editor
that's more to your liking.

If you quote text and the reply goes to a mailing list or News, you need to
reformat long lines regardless. It's rude to send long lines. If you have an
actual need to retain the original line length, you may do so in an attachment.
