For the record, KMail does f=f by default, too. And I think any client that doesn't do format=flowed by default it probably doing a disservice to it's users. Luckily, in KMail it is easy to turn off for a particular message with "Options -> Word Wrap" in the composer window. I think you can turn it off globally, but patches aren't a big enough part of my workflow that I've investigated it too much. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
