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). I would guess it is wrapping one line at 72-80 and the next at 132-(whatever). I am using vim, and it nicely wraps for you if you set it up correctly. In this this sentence it will break the line for me at the word that reaches or overlaps column 72. In this case the word "reaches". -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
