Hello Mike,

Ok, but you are aware that this solution will only work when you
*reply* to such a message, right? There's nothing (internal) that we
can do for viewing these messages right now.

That's what I thought. In this case, do as I suggested and use the
wrap2 recursive engine. You could use the form in the repository if
you want to wrap the other person's text. If you want to preserve the
rest of the formatting, you would change the wrap2 template to look
like:
=====[Begin wrap2]=====
%IF:'%-
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)[^\n]+"%-
%REGEXPMATCH="%COMMENT"'<>'':'%-
%-
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n(((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\s*\n))+(.*)\s*$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="1"
%COMMENT=_%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n(((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\s*\n))+(.*)\s*$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="7"_%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"'
=====[ End wrap2]=====
Again, you need a driver template to run this one. This one just
takes whatever is in the comment field, takes one paragraph at a time
from there and outputs it plus a blank line (thereby eliminating the
excess blank lines).
The driver template needs the following form:
%COMMENT="<raw text>"%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"%-
%COMMENT=""
The last line is just to cleanup loose ends. Good luck!
