(For others: Camaleón has a very long line of 'o's unbroken by space. The PNG shows this flowed to fill all available columns, plus the leading continuation marker on continuations.) This is just what mutt does. I do find markers (the leading '+' on the continuation lines) to be really obnoxious, particularly when they pollute URLs, so I turn them off. IMO the flowing algorithm could use some work. Breaks should be placed at breaking white-space, and if none is available then wrap at the _last_ column, with no marker (markers should be used, if at all, only when breaking at breaking white-space). The reason for wrapping at the last column is simple: so URLs aren't broken up (so one can mouse double click + copy to copy a URL into the clipboard). Of course, breaking only at breaking white-space means that mutt has to pick breaking points carefully so that text flows reasonably well, with the least chance of long non-breaking sequences going past the wrapmargin -- the algorithm suddenly got complex. (Piping through fmt(1) is probably not a good idea.) Nico --
