Jeff, Had a couple of very polite private replies about this, which shame me. Of course, you're right. It does seem that others have Evo problems that I don't have. Just to explain, especially on other lists I find myself fighting like a trooper to gather line ends up for others when I quote their emails. I thought that Lance was another one who wanted me to go on with this; seems I was gravely mistaken. Aparently there are legitimate Evo complaints that I haven't experienced.

I think Lance just wanted to be able to set the width/height of his composer window, not the line-wrap width.

But this has been brought up before, so maybe we'll add some code to remember window sizes.

[Evolution] Setting size of mail composition window
Is there some way to set the size of the new mail composition window? I'm using 1.0.8.99, updating from red-carpet whenever a new snap comes out, and would like to have the new mail windows sized so they are wide enough to accomodate a full line of text.
