Mmm... I see no difference whatever "editor" I choose, even they are setup to do not wrap. I have installed mcedit, nano and vim. Mcedit is set to wrap lines but nano is not. Anyway, if I change mcedit to do not wrap or if I select "nano" as mutt editor, I still get the same problem. What makes a difference is to change the pager. So, when I set: *** set pager = nano *** I get an unusable pager *but* long lines do not wrap. So I think the problem relies in built-in pager, not editor :-? Greetings, -- Camaleón
