Chris, are you referring to my emails? I'm just using (n)vi - i don't really like to set a line wrap to be honest. I've never had a complaint so far? However, if it is really so difficult to read then of course I will. I don't like vim. I prefer the old vi, so i'd have to set it in ~/.exrc which mean all files will be line wrapped which is why I haven't done so already. I'll see if theres a muttrc macro or setting I can use to set line wrap just for mail. Thanks for saying so though, at least I can change it now i know it's difficult to read. Best wishes, Jamie.
