Re: editor settings
Thank you. I've done something like this similarly, however this still
doesn't touch on what I am asking.
Suppose typing a new message. You have to go back and re-word a line and it
ends up being shorter then 78 characters. You then need to shift all your
lines in your paragraph/message to line up to what looks presentable to
send.
I hope this is more clear?
