The folding is done within the protocol.
Hm. Confused by some post in thread I make test I tested with 1. dovecot with lmtp and maildir as storage. 2. postfix configured to pass messages with line folding turned off. then I issued: $for ((i=1;i<=1100;i++)); do echo -n "." ; done|mail kjonca mail was delivered and in maildir file line was stored "as is" - without any breaking newline. So I believe dovecot-lmtp does not break the lines. And please do not change this :) KJ -- http://wolnelektury.pl/wesprzyj/teraz/
