Microsoft's apparently not ready to use line breaks. Seriously, people that write lines like that... just... why. What email client is even allowing it?

- kortilla 7y agoEmail clients that autowrap text.
- BonesJustice 7y agoWhy put in hard breaks when pretty much any email client should support soft/flexible line wrapping? Seems more like an issue with the linked site to me.
- Leace 7y agoformat=flowed is a reasonable middle-ground: https://joeclark.org/ffaq.html https://joeclark.org/ffaq.html
- jcranmer 7y agoActually, it's probably text/plain; format=flowed, which any sane email client would display as appropriately wrapped for the viewport size. It's generally the best way to send plain text emails. The problem here is the mailing list archive viewer, which is displaying it in a non-wrapping context, instead of letting the text wrap appropriate. It's using a <pre> instead of a <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">, in other words.
- DanBC 7y agoLine breaks are hard. But <format=flowed> has been causing problems for years. https://joeclark.org/ffaq.html https://joeclark.org/ffaq.html
