Re: [MlMt] Limit text width for received format=flowed mails

2014-09-16 Thread Kai Großjohann 
I think what he means is that it's better not to use the full window 
width for regular text shown in paragraphs: long lines are hard to 
follow.


And I agree: Having a wider window is good for embedded images and 
tables and the like, but the regular paragraphs could easily be limited 
to a line length of 66 characters or so.

That is correct.

However: is there a way to specify the maximum width that should be 
used when reflowing text? E.g. 66, or 72.


At the moment it uses the full window width (as many other clients 
do), which is usually too much.


That doesn't quite make sense to me. Too much for what? Do you mean 
when displaying or when composing messages?


The purpose of “format=flowed” is to get rid of hard-wrapping in 
emails (which is a bad thing) in a backwards compatible fashion.

[MlMt] Limit text width for received format=flowed mails

2014-09-14 Thread Dato Simó 

Hello!

I’m giving MailMate a try, and I see that it has support for reflowing 
incoming format=flowed e-mails.


However: is there a way to specify the maximum width that should be used 
when reflowing text? E.g. 66, or 72.


At the moment it uses the full window width (as many other clients do), 
which is usually too much.


Many thanks in advance!

Yes, I should have clarified: as the subject indicated, I meant only 
when displaying incoming mail. Right now, MailMate reflows incoming 
mail to occupy the whole width of the display pane; but I would like 
to see shorter lines in reflowed text.


Ok, there is no built-in setting for that. You can get something close 
though using CSS. Create this path and file:


	~/Library/Application\ 
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css


And add the following lines to the file:

p { max-width: 30em; }
div[markup=none] div { max-width: 30em; }

You may have to change the value 30 to something that works well with 
your font choice.


I cannot guarantee that it'll work well for all emails, but it might be 
good enough for you.
