However: is there a way to specify the maximum width that should be used when reflowing text? E.g. 66, or 72.

At the moment it uses the full window width (as many other clients do), which is usually too much.

That doesn't quite make sense to me. Too much for what? Do you mean when displaying or when composing messages?

The purpose of “format=flowed” is to get rid of hard-wrapping in emails (which is a bad thing) in a backwards compatible fashion.

Yes, I should have clarified: as the subject indicated, I meant only when displaying incoming mail. Right now, MailMate reflows incoming mail to occupy the whole width of the display pane; but I would like to see shorter lines in reflowed text.

(As an additional clarification: I see that MailMate’s implementation of outgoing mail uses a soft-wrap of 72 columns or so, which is a very sensible default. My request, however, is not about this number, but about how long the reflowed lines should be in displayed incoming e-mail.)

Thanks!
