There = is nothing arbitrary about it as it is something the user does. I don't = use Claws, but I am about 99% sure it will softflow lines at whatever = width you want (but not, iirc, window width). As for code, if you ae excepting cut/paste ready code in anything other = than source files you're going to run into problems.

Nearly everyone in the world who accesses email accesses it through a = GUI, not a console or a terminal. Things like how the text is displayed = are important options for users to have (not for senders, which is why = HTML email is still so offensive) so that the text appears in a way that = works best for the user. --=20 Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nurse it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this = to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."
