The MUA could wrap the lines on demand, so long lines for code are not wrapped by default. I add two actions to claws mail [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat .claws-mail/actionsrc | tail -2 Wrap lines: |fmt -s -w 75| Unwrap lines: cat %f actually I _never_ use them. However, it's usually possible to configure a MUA, sometimes it's useful, especially if there should be no windows that could be resized ;). If resizeable windows are used, then lines should get wrapped. Indeed, for code, logs etc. scrolling would be better. However, the main point is and I agree with this, a MUA most not reformat a message by default.
