I have this in ~/.muttrc: set markers = no set wrap = -5 which wraps lines at 5 columns in from the right. You can also use a positive number to specify an absolute amount. Turning markers off means that wrapped lines won't start with a "+" character. HAving the + there might be preferable. I remove them so I can copy and paste multi-line wrapped URLs into another window to be opened locally (the email is read remotely via ssh to a vm). So maybe try something like: set wrap = 72 set smart_wrap There are other muttrc variables to look into: e.g. smart_wrap That looks good. I might add that. It wraps at word boundaries. > Of course I can reduce the with of the frame on Notion (my window > manager) where I run Mutt to force the wrapping, but I'd rather keep the > size I use for everything else and have Mutt wrapping the text for me. > > Cheers. > Ángel cheers, raf
