If you look at the headers you'll see that I'm using Mutt 1.4i, and I can see that you're using Kmail 1.4.2. Something's broken in your version though, because it exibits the exact same buggy behaviour as Outlook(Express), ie, when it re-formats long lines it doesn't place a quote-character ('> ') on the new line preceding the line piece that was replaced. So you get: "> yada yada yada .........................................." "yada yada yada ............................................" "> yada yada yada .........................................." "yada yada............."
I thought it was just Outlook that does this, I didn't know that Kmail could be just as bad.
Everybody else in the company is on Outlook, through Exchange Server. Is it possible that my KMail output is being mangled by a trip (or two) through that server? I'll pay a closer attention in future, but I **think** I've seen the broken reformat on incoming messages. Anyway, incoming or outgoing, one of the reasons that I write short lines and put hard returns at the end of each line... is that I was on Outlook for years and wanted to "cure" that problem, pre-emptively (i.e., as a courtesy to other readers). I know that Exchange Server affects a number of parameters of mail from Outlook itself, even settings that you would think should be set at the client level. /kevin
