Perhaps this question is not strictly related to Cygwin, but its 
solution could help Cygwin people.

I have seen that many emails to these lists have long lines that make 
them unreadable (see [1], for example).

Since this problem could potentially regard me too, I would ask if 
someone has some solution or can point me to some documentation which 
fixes the following.

When I use Thunderbird, I seen that even if I have configured it to wrap 
lines after 72 characters, this does not happen when I read the emails 
on this list (with Firefox or IE).

For example, the above paragraph has 3 lines, wrapped after 72 chs., 
when I write it (even maximizing the window), but a single line (or 2, 
at most) when I read it on the list.

Obviously I have configured to sent and visualize only pure text.

I have searched on the WEB, but not clear solution found.

Many Cygwin users will be grateful to find it!


Cheers,
    Angelo.
