That's indeed how Mozilla *sends* it. But not how it *displays* it.
There is no WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) on the Internet, nor should there be. >> While typing the message this works pretty well, but when I download >> and read the message I posted a few seconds before from my >> newsserver, I have to see that mozilla wraps the text when "the >> screen is full". > > See http://www.hmetzger.de/etips6.html#10 Holger, I think you are a bit fast to call Format Flowed "Format Flawed" and tell people to disable it. Esp. the disabling for f=f during sending is not at all necessary to get the result desired in this case. Just making the window smaller would aalso achieve the same result, and more flexible. You could also tell people to check the source of the mail to see that it's indeed sent wrapped. What you really want is bug <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71110>.
