Re: HTML Mail & Line breaks...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 59191
interpreted = N
texte = Yes... more a case of is there a way to make words wrap? I don't know if it is possible to come up with some sort of algorythm that would check for number of characters in a line but also check for spaces to find words. Jeez... gets a bit confusing as you would then be checking line length and length of the words and then working out how many of those words you could use before having to wrap... I dunno... Thats why I posted to the list... Although I am pondering the whole thing... Anyways... if anyone has any pointer on where to start looking context wise then I am grateful or am I going to have to start playing with grep and the likes?
