Hello Jernej,

Disable PGP's wrapping? (more on this in a bit)

Unless what I'm quoting *must* remain quoted at a certain column to
retain the original sender's formatting intentions, I re-wrap quotes
to my own TB! wrap setting as part of my composition.

For instance - I prefer a wrap setting of 70 characters. If you send
me a message with a wrap set to 76 characters, and the only difference
being that your paragraphs are wider than my preferred width, I'll be
happy to re-wrap your quoted text in my reply to my preferred 70
characters - as part of *my* reply composition.

It is a very rare instance when a bit of quoted material must be
quoted without being re-wrapped to the replier's preferred wrap
setting. Perhaps in the case of quoting "ascii art", wrapped at a
greater column number, but how often must we do that sort of thing?

About disabling PGP's wrapping altogether...

If you only use PGP with clients/editors that deal with wrapping in
one uniform "WYSIWYG" way, then that's fine. However - if you use PGP
with several different clients/editors, and some deal with wrapping
differently than others, there is a place for having a wrap set in
PGP. This is my situation, so I prefer having a wrap set in PGP.

In any event, I've worked out relative wrap settings between my
PGP/GnuPG and my various editors so that I don't have to change
settings anywhere, and wrapping/signing do not come into conflict.
