Typically such usage is in contexts where a paragraph is represented as a single physical line, though. Your "set" is not part of "wrap" in my dialect. > I think that if these terms are defined in the RFCs, that those > definitions should be preferred to mine. "Fold" is defined per RFC 5322. The others don't seem to be. I think "fold" should be used for the well-defined operation of header folding (RFC 5322) and also for the well-defined operation of "inserting a soft linebreak" in quoted-printable bodies (RFC 2045). I'm happy with whatever usage others prefer for the other operations. _______________________________________________ Email-SIG mailing list Email-SIG@python.org Your options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/email-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
