No, my return key works fine. $WORK obligates me to use a MUA which supports i18n well, by which I don't mean UTF-8 and ISO-Latin-1, but various UTF-16 encodings like Big5/GBK and ISO-2022-JP. Unfortunately, Mail.app no longer implements the format=flowed MIME Content-type. Feel free to file your own bug reports with Apple and reference: rdar://8866049 Mail.app 4.x no longer generates format="flowed" content rdar://8866164 Mail.app: support external $EDITOR for message composition Alternatively, one could leap ahead and use a 21st-century MUA which wraps text. > Perhaps I should have said something like, "If you don't know what you are > doing, try the defaults." Yes, that would have been an improvement over your original comment.
