"No network connection" seems pretty common exception to me, I'd think it would be worth having special behaviour. > > - Strange but i can have only 70-80 characters per line in text mode > > even if the window if larger.

Couldn't this be made optional? This isn't really issue with normal emails, but sometimes I want to copy&paste longer lines (eg. a couple of lines from log files) where wrapping just makes it more difficult for receiver to read it. Making it an attachment would work of course, but if I wanted to put comments between the lines, the whole mail would basically be in the attachment which would be stupid. Format menu could have Wrapless-toggle which would show and send the lines without any wrapping at all, so it might show horizontal scrollbar as well. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
