You can type + lines as long as you like. By the time you send or queue + a mail with long lines, Sylpheed will first wrap the + lines to the line length you set up, and then the mail + is queued. This is more convenient than you think. Once + a line is wrapped (hard line breaks are inserted in the + text) and you add something in a line there, the next + line will move to a separate new line, leaving one or + two words from the previous line "hanging there" alone. + E.g. + <verb> + This is a long line that + is wrapped. + </verb> + + Now you add one word in the first line: + <verb> + This is a very long line + that + is wrapped + </verb> + + This would cause you a lot of manual reformatting to get + a presentable mail again. + + Note: As of Sylpheed 0.8.0., active wordwrap has been + implemented.
