Octavian: Are you saying that the person using Pine finds lines too long? Or, are you saying that some people who get mail from those of us who use Pine are having trouble with long lines? I think the latter is true. Pine's composer pico, does not arbitrarily wrap lines at some particular position before handing the message off to the mail transport agent. It is considered to be the responsibility of the user agent to wrap appropriately for local conditions. This strategy supports that well--you can havew 65 chars per line, and I can have 138, and the messages look good. If the sending agent were to arbitrarily set a line length of 75 and terminate, then both my 138 and your 65 user agents would show messy messages. I believe this is actually the correct behavior, but I haven't checked the RFC for the correct standard on the subject. Does anyone know off hand?
