Subject: [sup-talk] [PATCH] Use terminal width instead of hardcoded 80 as the wrap length.

Reformatted excerpts from Ben Walton's message of 2009-05-23:

Seems like there are three main modes of operation that would be
desirable:

1. wrap at 80 chars;
2. wrap at current terminal width;
3. don't wrap.

(In all cases, existing line breaks in the message are left alone.)

Would a three-way toggle irritate anyone?
