Hi,
I had a confusion about the way that 'wordwrap' works in fudforum. I guess i understand now (the feature in admin/global settings is to prevent long 'words' in the forum), but the way i usually think of wordwrap relates to text documents and email (adding a space to break up long character strings does something like what i think of as 'hard wrap', where as the more common 'soft wrap' would limit the length of text lines by 'wrapping' at word boundaries near a line-length-limit).
The problem i had was that messages posted to the forum and sent to mailman had no line-breaks, so the screen side-scrolled for the length of each paragraph. My hack solution was changing the last line in include/mlist_post.php to
send_email($from, $list_email, $subject, wordwrap($final_body), $header);
And this seems to work for me.
This seems like it would a useful configuarable feature. Well, maybe i just missed something, or, do you think of this as the responsibility of the mailing list manager? According to http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-September/022335.html it is considered a user-agent issue.
I dunno. Thought i'd ask/share.
cheers. fudforum is pretty freaking amazing.
