Again, the *sender* must use format=flowed when they compose their message. There is no way for you to do it on the receiver's side properly in all cases. If you want to *force* reformatting the paragraph knowing that it may be wrong in some cases, you can use $display_filter with a program like `par` or `fmt`. > > As to your original problem, my guess is that the difference you see > > between various mail client is that some add the format=flowed > > attribute, which causes Mutt to nicely reformat the paragraph.

In that example there was nowhere to break the line because there were no spaces. the choice is between wrapping the long line, or chopping it off (Mutt doesn't support the latter). As mentioned previous, 'set markers' controls the + char in the first column when Mutt wraps a line. me
