Colin....I don't use Kmail, so I don't know if it has a
setting you can use to fix the problem, but the mail client I
use (Netscape Messenger) has a feature that I set to 'wrap
incoming messages to window width.'
What the person sending that type of message (one with no
width formatting included) is missing on their end is either a
feature like Netscape Messenger's 'Wrap outgoing plain text
messeges at <you choose a number> characters', or they are not
sending plian text (probably some form of HTML), and it
depends on the receiving end software to autowrap the text to
the window size (the feature I first mentioned).
