Hello, long time mutt user here - I've always hard wrapped my lines at 72 columns for as long as I can remember.
The problem is popular modern mobile and web-based MUAs don't handle this and can make unexpected linewrap decisions. It's no issue when emailing UNIX nerds, but non-nerds think I'm doing something wrong. I've seen people convincingly argue it's time to abandon `tw=72` and never wrap lines manually - newlines are for when you want a new paragraph. I've tested, and this does look a lot better on Android for example... but it just feels and looks wrong! What's the general concensus on this issue? I find it so weird for my lines not to soft-wrap in a big xterm that I had to make a vim macro to "fake" wrap them while composing :) Tavis. (This post is wrapped because I used slrn, and you're all UNIX nerds anyway!) -- _o) $ lynx lock.cmpxchg8b.com /\\ _o) _o) $ finger tav...@sdf.org _\_V _( ) _( ) @taviso
