Re: New format=flowed behavior is annoying



Hi,

the current behavior of joining lines with format=flowed just
because mutt can (and has enough screen real estate) is annoying and
unergonomic (best reading speed for plain text occurs around 50-60
characters, not 150!).  Please revert the default behavior to the
old one (joining lines only if we had to wrap them before), and make
the new behavior optional.

As an alternative, make the display width of flowed lines
configurable.

How about setting $wrap to something around 80? If that isn't enough, how about adding a flowed_wrap that:

- if negative wraps to the end of screen,
- if zero displays as-is (like no f=f support at all, default)
- if positive specifies at what column to wrap

?
