Where are you seeing this wrapping? Any wrapping done by Mailman will be done by the underlying Python email package. I can't think offhand of anywhere where text in message bodies will be wrapped except versions prior to 2.1.10 which didn't recognize/honor a format=flowed parameter in a Content-Type: header which could result messages apparently being wrapped inappropriately when msg_header and/or msg_footer are addes to a text/plain body or when attachments are scrubbed. Certain headers will be folded in many cases. Most commonly this is the Subject: header and folding occurs during the addition of subject_prefix, but Mailman will also manipulate certain other headers such as Cc: and these also will be subject to folding. > Lastly is there a way to set this value or what are the maximum and > minimums?

See section 2.1.1 of RFC2822 and/or RFC5322, both of which say in part There are two limits that this standard places on the number of characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF. This is the rationale for folding 'long' headers, but without knowing exactly what you're seeing, I can't offer any advice about controlling it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
