Don't take me too seriously: I see you're using mutt, which means maybe you're wedded to it ;-). Anyway, I suppose you still would occasionaly want the possibility to reply to the sender of a newsgroup post privately rather than on the newsgroup. One possibility would be to use some other mail/news client, one where you'd get explicit menus saying, for instance, "Reply to Sender", "Reply to Newsgroup", "Reply to All", etc. Maybe there are still other options. > >> If you have further questions pertaining to slrn, news.software.readers >> would be a proper forum. > I will look at :h fomatoptions. > Thanks To avoid all wrapping, you could ":set tw=0" but that would probably also disable wrapping the body text of the mail or newspost. If you want to limit the length of mail/newspost headers, continuation lines should start with whitespace -- look at the "raw source" of any mail you get, you'll probably see "Received" lines with that kind of "indented" continuation lines.
