the wordwrap limit is column 78, I don't no why!

Try /Netiquette/ for an explanation. ;-)
Netiquette? which one??

Not everyone is using a GUI e-mail
(or Usenet) client, and most character mode displays are only 80 characters
wide
sticking to the specs of those *old* systems for nostalgic people

Since quoted sections are typically indented with ">" (or another
widely accepted character), a little extra space is required.

yes

As a sidenote, *my* /KMail/ does allow setting a word wrap margin, and I've
set it for 76 characters. Likewise for /KNode,/ for that matter.

good

actually I would like kmail sets a dynamic wordwrap limit which changes
regarding the window size.

E-mail generally isn't HTML - despite Microsoft's persistent tendency to
promote and stimulate the use of HTML in e-mails.
Upon sending plain text
e-mail, line wraps become linefeeds, and as such, the message is delivered.

you mean line wraps enlarges the email size in html??
regarding the speed of common internet connections I would never be
agaisnt some extra data required by html when it adds for reading
comfort.

there are a lot of features changing the look of emails; liking it or
not is just a matter of the user's tastes.

i'm using kmail 1.8.2 maybe this issue is already solved in recent
releases.

It's not a /KMail/ thing, it's an *e-mail* thing... ;-)

nothing prevents an editor to fulfill such a requirement.
