This issue got me puzzled. Out of long habit (especially with linux mailing list standard practice), I prefer plain text email. Currently (like Torvalds!) I'm using the Gmail Web Client. This sends plain text email in a strictly standards-compliant way, setting the line length to a maximum of 78 characters, and (perhaps over-strictly) not applying format=flowed. But Gmail's standards-compliant plain text email with hard returns at the end of each line does not play well with mobile device screens that are narrower than 78 characters: on narrow screens, the text seems to have alternate long and short lines. I sometimes use Thunderbird as a mail client. This also sends plain text emails in a standards-compliant way; but unlike Gmail, it uses format=flowed, so that when read with a properly configured mail client the plain text will wrap to the screen size. This is handled correctly by, say, the iOS Mail app. But the iOS Gmail app does not respect format=flowed, so the message is displayed in chopped up long and short lines. The test message I sent was written in Gmail's Rich Text, so that's how come it wrapped correctly to your screen width. So the question is: does the darktable-user list ask users to follow the traditional list practice of not sending formatted email, but posting only in plain text? mac ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
