For example what is to stop it from wrapping something that for various reasons *HAS* to be longer than 74 chars (like code) when such wrapping destroys the ability to cut and paste from the MUA into another file for testing? Here goes a good example: #include main() { printf("Long email lines are not evil, nor are do they need to be corrected, try and cut and paste this into a C program and make it compile right out of the box.\n I dare you!" } -- > > Regards, > Chris Knipe > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Aryeh M.
