 Look at the following line in the attached screenshot:
 
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
here it's 2x36 ! 
 7 8 9 0
 
 It is wrapped at 56 characters.
 
 Is this now a setting instead of hard-coded? Did mine get changed
 somehow?
 
 I am looking to fix this because it is quite annoying  when responding
 to email. Evolution tries to wrap the quoted lines much shorter than
 they should be resulting in lines that only contain one or two words.

Reading back my email I realize it was not as clear as it could have been.

And I should have included the version of Evolution. It is the version
shipped with Fedora 18 which is version 3.6.3 plus a couple of patches
that don't seem to be related.

The actual email sent is wrapped at 72 characters. Exactly 2x36 as you say.

But in the composer window, as you can see in the screenshot that I
attached, the message is wrapped at 56 characters.

That makes it difficult to see what the message will look like when sent
because What You See Is Not What You Get (WYSINWYG).

It doesn't appear to have any relation to the size of the composer
window because making the window much wider doesn't change the wrapping.

It's actually wrapped at 72 characters - I know what your screenshot
shows, but the mail when received is wrapped at 72 - and that's not just
a display thing, if you look in the message source it wraps at 72.

It's not a generic thing - I'm using the same version as you and it's
fine.  If you have a small window in which to type, then you get
wrapping at odd places in the composer but still sent as if wrapped at
72, as you are seeing.  I can see that your composer window isn't small
though - perhaps there's something odd about communication between the
window manager and Evo about the window size.
