It's *your* choice, if you prefer a smaller preview pane, just reduce their size... You cannot tell that *my* message is wrong because *you* requested to read it wide and that you do not like that :) > TB does NOT wrap incoming messages anywhere else but at the window > border. And it's the much logical way to do : the window size is the size you want to read your messages, if you define this size it's because you want to read with this size, i think it's nice that TB display the message how you want to, at least when there is no hardwrap... > It never has.

If you do not want to read your messages full width, do not configure your preview pane to display full width, that's your choice, not the choice of the one who send the mail. If you do not want to decrease the size of the preview pane, you can increase the size of your font. - - [ Le dimanche 26 mars 2006 vers 15:27 Richard Wakeford écrivait: ] - - > I have to agree with you 100% on that one.

If you do not like to preview your messages wide, why did you keep your preview pane wide ? I understand that peoples prefer read lines of 80 characters, they can define the width of their preview pane for that, it's the purpose of a not fixed width window... But why requesting that the sender must use hardwrap because you've requested your mail reader to display 130 characters per line and that you prefer 80... it's not the fault of the sender if your mail reader is wrongly configured... For me, the sender must use the most standard format to allow a maximum of people to read the message, the width, the font, the color of the text, the color of the background,... must be choosed by the recipient, not by the sender. It's a mail, not a webpage : there should not be formatting in the mail, hardwrapping is a form of formatting, the peoples who do not want to see html in a mail (as i), should also refuse hardwrapping... | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
