This is an interesting question based on a presumption that I didn’t know was possible. In a plain text email, is it possible to indicate that certain lines are not wrappable? I know it is possible in an HTML email, but I was unaware of any way of doing so in a plain text email (at least, any generally accepted standard). For example, on my cell phone I use Thunderbird as my MUA. In portrait mode on my device text wraps at about 40 columns. Are you saying that you can send a plain text email in such a way that Thunderbird or any other MUA on a cell phone will force scrolling left and right to read the lines instead of having the MUA wrap them at the edge of the screen? -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
