Dear all,

we faced seriuos problems because the sendmail.php module (in program/steps/mail) does an automatic wordwrapping after 75 characters in HTML mails.
We use roundcube with English and Korean language. especially in Korean if you break at a wrong position, meanings can completely change or former polite language can turn in to very rude expressions. I changed the code now to values which may suite us for now, but this is can not be the solution.

If I looked right is is also done in the module func.php (function rcmail_wrap_quoted).

So I would like to see a config option for wrapping enabled/disabled (for the message body of course).

For practical purposes, lines should be broken at even less than 78 characters, since when a message is quoted back in a reply it might have angle brackets prefixed to it. The netiquette guidelines in RFC 1855 suggest limiting lines to 65 characters. This is a very conservative value; some users don't go this far, and use 70 or 75 instead. A high number could run into problems if the message is repeatedly quoted.
