I don't think it looks that bad and as webmaster I much rather that it does exactly this because, as I explained, lines that are not wrapped correctly are a horrendous problem for me. Your line endings are in line with the KMail default albeit a couple of characters longer. Exactly how many characters is not a problem - what bugs me is when the client simply doesn't put line endings in AT ALL! How long do you want the lines to be? Around 78-84 characters is usually deemed suitable. > 2. Printing font. Every single time I print, the font used to print > out is A.D.MONO and it is a swine to read. (You print email??) I've always had problems with Evolution - it just doesn't seem to ever be ready or stable. It's OpenPGP support is broken and the team refuse to fix it (because other bugs make it too hard to fix the OpenPGP bug) and it simply doesn't offer the flexibility or control of KMail. e.g. Someone will correct me if this has been updated, but Evolution (like Mozilla) didn't have a pipe through filter command - needed for spam filters like SpamAssassin - last time I looked at it. There's a configuration setting somewhere to fix your printing font problem, but I never used Evolution for long enough to find it. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
