It would be really nice if everyone on this list would use the word wrap feature of their e-mail program, and also not send their e-mails in html. This list has been fairly nice about it, but in most linux lists they will take your heads off if you send stuff without these.
You'll never get people to voluntarily conform to this. For one, many simply don't have a clue what you're referring to. Their OutlookExpress-using friends haven't complained, so they must not be doing anything wrong. Surely KMail can be set up to properly handle messages like this. I used to use Mutt and it did. Two config file options dealt with html-formatted messages and non-wrapped lines:
text/html; lynx -dump %s ; copiousoutput set smart_wrap
I don't know if it's possible for the list-server to handle either of these cases. Stripping HTML messages into text seems possible, but at what overhead cost ??
