I would like to see an option on wrapping text email, perhaps in hook_mail. Reason is that I sometimes use email for automated use, the recipient is a script, not a human and wrapping would be a pain. I have no problem with wrapping being the default ;-) Perhaps it can be done with hook_email_alter(), haven't tried that yet, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. > > Cheers, > Gerhard -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
