Avoiding hardwrap does not limit the readability as the reader remain able to display the message with a 76 chars width... and a message without hardwrap is much more readable on some devices than a message with (PDA, cellular,...)... thus you told that hardwrapping is encouraged to lower the readability of the mails ? :p >> I can live with it if i need to, i just do not understand why it's the >> "recommended" way to do when there are another way much more >> compatible with every screen and user wish... > I dare say that it is very much a compatibility issue, even today... :-( I still do not see the compatibility problem : is there some systems unable to read correctly messages without hardwrapping ?
