Message-ID: <4C1B68C0-BAD8-488F-9387-B1E6BF95FE60@froup.cc> Hi, I recently discovered [this article](https://vxlabs.com/2019/08/25/format-flowed-with-long-lines/), which suggests using `format=flowed` with a maximum line length of 998. Doing this allows clients that support `format=flowed` to reflow the long lines while also making bad clients such as Outlook to dynamically wrap the whole long line at frame boundary to avoid them interpreting soft line breaks as hard line breaks (since there won’t be any soft or hard line breaks unless your paragraph is longer than 998 characters). I’m still using `format=flowed`, and would like to practice this advice with MailMate. However, I don’t know how to make MailMate wrap the _raw_ message at 998 characters, or is that even possible. I tried setting `View > Soft Wrap Column` to 998 but that does not affect the _raw_ message sent over SMTP. I’d appreciate any help on this.
