I'm checking it out as I write this mail, and I think I like it; at least the color syntaxing is nice (at least after I customized the colors ;P). >> I think, that something is wrong with my Emacs, because 'M-x >> auto-fill-mode' doesn't start wrapping lines.

Ah well, I guess I have to live with this. At least it wraps the lines I write now, although I haven't needed it. But to be sure, I'll keep the option on. :-) > If this will work, you can add following line to your .emacs file: > > (setq fill-column 72) Thanks, I'll do this right away. > You can also press C-q to wrap current paragraph (even outside > auto-fill-mode). Yup (you mean M-q, right?), it does -- but sometimes it acts *very* weirdly, like wrapping the whole mail instead of just the current paragraph. Well, I'm not complaining. :-) Still -- the answer I was looking for -- I didn't find it. And the question was, that how can I make Emacs to wrap all lines longer than specific amount of columns? All, not just the ones I'm writing myself, because that isn't a problem. The problem is, that sometimes people write *extremely* long lines (I've noticed, that this usually occurs when the writer is using Outlook :P); for example, I have one mail in my inbox, that has such a long lines, that Emacs is displaying one line on fifteen (15!) lines!. So, is there a way (I'm sure there is, Emacs haven't let me down yet ;-)) to do this? -- Jussi Ekholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU/Linux user number 269376 http://erppimaa.cjb.net/~ekhowl/ | ICQ UIN: 156057281 ekh on IRCnet | GnuPG Public Key ID: 1410081E
