Package: sylpheed Version: 3.7.0-8 Severity: important Tags: upstream Format paragraph (Control + L & Control + Alt + L) on compose window doesn't actually format paragraphs, which is what is needed most often, and rather trivial to implement. The need for formatting is, actually, rather common. I will elaborate.
I think this "feature", as it stands, is badly posed. It makes no sense in a program to force the user to format manually with a ruler, which by the way, doesn't extend for the whole editing window, and expecting mails to be sent with no formatting would be a complete no sense as well since line length is limited in the standard to 1023 characters, and auto-formatting them on display is actually made with MIME-HTML, which Sylpheed doesn't support. Besides, a paragraph isn't usually "wrapped", but formatted. Wrapping the last line is, basically, the unusual case. When you edit you basically need to reformat the whole thing. And turning on auto-wrap isn't the solution either, as it breaks lines that need to be left longer, which happens often in the internet (a URL, for instance). Turning it on by default is usually not an option.
