Re: [OT] w3m Configuration Problem
* "John P. Verel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [28/01/01, 13:24:37]: Well, I wimped out and got the w3m-0.1.11-0.1mdk rpm and re-installed. All's well. FWIW, my first reaction is that w3m is way better that lynx. For example, compare the www.nytimes.com under each. Not even close! There's not much that's (visually) worse than lynx as a web browser/pager. :) Links is nice, too. I'll have to compare theese programs.

Re: mutt reading a maildir (qmail ~/Maildir)

With Format=Flowed text, Mutt should automatically reformat the lines so that they are shorter than 80 chars (72 chars is suggested in the RFC) when the mail is sent. If Mutt doesn't currently support flowed text, could I request it as a feature for a future version? Format=Flowed really comes into its own when displaying quoted text. If your message was sent flowed, people on 80 char terminals would not see the word "too" as being unquoted above. The nice thing is that people on 40 or 120 column terminals would also see the text as being perfectly quoted, as the quoted text would be wrapped automatically to fit the width of the terminal with extra '' characters sprinkled in as needed. Short answer: use vim with set tw=72 and type 'gqip' whenever things get a littly unweildy. -- Tom Just say it sometime - walking down the street, or when life's got you down.

Line endings in encrypted messages

Windows/dos uses a CRLF end-of-line convention while unix settles for LF. Becky is probably encrypting your mail to a file and inserting it back to the mailer. . upon reception on your unix mail reader/editor. . CR's appear as ^M.
