Re: can we break the wordwrap limit in kmail?

Netiquette? which one??

The fact that technically a margin has to be set, and the fact that most
users find 80 characters per line most agreeable with their visual acuity.
ok

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

Narrow-minded thinking, picturing "the PC" as the only computer system in
existence?
yes probably. I'm not suposed to know what the whole world is composed
of.

What about people working on dumb serial terminals on UNIX
machines?
huh?? whou!!
what about people on mars? what about poppies, roses and moses?
why wold my life be interferred by their existance?
somewhere in the morale universe I'll find that you're absolutely true
because anything has some truth somewhere.



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??

Now where did I write anything of such sort?
you say line wraps become linefeeds; what is it?

I was describing how plain
text e-mail is handled by the protocol, more or less.
ok

regarding the speed of common internet connections I would never be
agaisnt some extra data required by html when it adds for reading
comfort.

HTML has nothing to do with comfort, and if you ever get any phishing
e-mails, you'll thank $DEITY that your e-mail client can display plain text
e-mails.
I usually like RTF. it allows on both ends to tell more. pishing,
spams... have nothing to do here.


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

And most of those features are blatant security hazards,
but Why wold you stop everything for those security hazes??
building a nuclear facility for energy is a threat of terrorism, do
government stop their plannings??
NO! they fight agaisnt the threat.
your behaviour is quite laughable because if i really scan your way of
life I will obviously find many such examples that concern you.

such as HTML
e-mails that contain links to pictures that are being loaded from
webservers separately.
you can set you email client to not to download any pics from othr
servers than your mail server!
and you can off course build up just a trust list of trusted emails and
you choose to fully download emails only from that trust list. Or there
are so many many ways! But stopping all new techs just because of
theats a matter of you only. do not speak and choose (although you
cannot) for the rest of the world.



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.
and i confirm


You don't seem to understand how e-mail works...
I'm quite sorry, I didn't want to hurt yur feelings.

you seem to not to understand what people are.

anyway I went onto wikipedia and found some links to the email
definition (rfc docs). I will have to study it, i will probably be able
to better stand up for my view.
