Limiting max text width
A quick and dumb one: How do I limit my e-mails to 70 cols in .muttrc?? I want lines to wrap auto at 70. I don't see a setting for that.

I think you could set your MDA to pass messages through a reformatter, or perhaps this can be done on individual messages from inside mutt. I've been thinking about the same recently, and the thought of unattended email munging gave creeps, but I might go for it anyway once I feel comfortable enough about the software that would do this task... -- FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE 5:51PM up 37 days, 4:34, 18 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.08, 0.05

Hi, On Thu, 29 Nov 2001 Odhiambo [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed into the ether: A quick and dumb one: How do I limit my e-mails to 70 cols in .muttrc?? I want lines to wrap auto at 70. I don't see a setting for that. Maybe a $display_filter pointing to a perl/python script ? But, IMHO, this could be a dangerous option for mails in which the author has not put line-breaks intentionally - for eg. looong commands, which extend over lines should not be wrapped. I prefer smart_wrap, and markers options in my muttrc.But, any case, post your results. pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED]What, me worry ? http://www.symonds.net/~prahladv/Don't Panic ! -- msg20816/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
