698.0. "line wrapping in V2.6 reply" by GIDDAY::BACOT () Fri May 30 1997 01:04

    
    Is the line wrapping in V2.6 is different from V2.5?
    
    I have a customer that has his window set to 79, he has even 
    set his read window to 79 but 2.6 is wrapping differently than V2.5.
    
    Using plain text with the window set to 79 characters.
    Send a copy to yourself and it is ok except for the corruption of the 
    last line of text. If you reply, the wrapping changes with
    lots of long and short lines.  apparently the last word, which
    previously fit on the line, doesn't.
    
    Any ideas?  
    
    thanks,

Has the user specified text to be used to prefix lines included in the reply 
from the mail message to which s/he's replying? That would change the 
spacing in the way you've described.


Check in the "Reply" preference, "Prefix Plain Text by:" - be sure to check 
for space characters in the text box.

       The customer had indicated previously that he was not using anything
        in "Reply" preference.  I'll have him check for a space.
