============

This I know about.

When you xmit a msg w/ WYSIWYG wrapping, PMMail inserts hard returns where *YOUR* window wraps your sentence. If you use a large composer window then your sentence is longer than the reader's window and his window wraps at its right margin and your hard return wraps again. This produces a very irritating long line-short line sequence.

I turn off WYSIWYG before I send the msg and in most cases it wraps to fit the reader's window because hard returns are only at paragraph boundaries. But there are a couple of problems. As best I can tell from experiment the 'internet' insert a couple of hard returns and perhaps a couple of other characters every 1K characters or so (varies with the server it seems). The second problem is that I necessarily use WYSIWYG when I compose but forget to turn it off sometimes.

BTW this should be a selectable, default behaviour in PMMail.
