Hmmmm, just spotted something which I've never noticed before:

As you can see, I have "Line break in column 80" enabled but it doesn't
seem to work on my display. I have the number of columns set to 100 in my OpenXP config but lines don't wrap at column 80, they wrap at the window edge(column 100).

Can you reproduce this?

Regards,
Martin

This is my setting:

I don't think the line break to in column 80 works! I'll get
messages that apparently don't have and soft-CRs in the message
body and they continue to the full width of my OpenXP display
window which is 100 as well.

Lemme review a few older messages..

[play the Jeopardy "thinking" tune]

Nope. The messages still appear full width:

Is that what you mean?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean and thanks for confirming it.

See my netmail also.
