This is a lacking core feature in the overwhelming majority of e-mail
clients. Check it out.

This is one of the reasons why the recommendation to wrap text at
below 80 characters still exists and remains a default setting for the
majority of e-mail clients, despite the modern computer display era.

:) You're warping the issue and making it seem ridiculous when it
really isn't. TB! can be made to do a lot of things that will make
others complain. Some features/components do not work properly because
they're buggy, incomplete or lacking in functionality that is
important to us and others who receive your messages. Should we use
those features?

- Re: numbering makes non-TB! users complain.
- Initialled quote prefixing makes non-TB! users complain.
- Not wrapping text will make both TB! and non-TB! users complain.
- Defining a character limit of 120 characters will make both TB! and
non-TB! users complain.

There are other examples.

I've always told others that the Windows Editor isn't a good solution
despite its being there. It doesn't send what you're seeing as you
type. It doesn't do the necessary exercise of wrapping on sending.
I'll never consider using it until it wraps on sending since it lacks
a core feature.

I disagree that there isn't a reason to complain. Those who wish to
use the Windows Editor should complain/comment on the lack of proper
formatting when sending. The implementation is incomplete without that
function and I myself do wonder 'why bother with the whole thing if
such an important feature isn't included'.

If you really cannot manage using MicroEd, then I'll remember this
when reading your messages and work with you. :)
