I'm using mutt, with pico as my visual editor. It wraps lines for me visually when I enter a mail, but at the 132 column limit I have set on screen. I get the impression from reading my own mails back that mutt is wrapping the lines somewhat oddly. They don't usually come out as one long line, but it appears to wrap twice (I get alternating long/short lines). Anyone know what I can do to avoid this problem? My solution has been to run a Outlook Express to compose mail, but that's pretty icky. --K To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
