[opensuse] printing emails with loooooong lines from kmail ...
Hello, When printing an email that contains a very long line (an URL) the whole email gets scaled, so that the long line fits on the paper - thus makes the printout unreadable. any idea how/where I can set that when printing such long-lined-emails the line gets splittet into several lines? as an example: try to print this e-mail from kmail (URL below to show such a long line and its effect) http://localhost/nowhere/this_is_just_a_sample_to_show_a_very_long_line/that... thanks for your hints Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com/en/linux.html Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

as an example: try to print this e-mail from kmail (URL below to show such a long line and its effect) http://localhost/nowhere/this_is_just_a_sample_to_show_a_very_long_line/tha t_makes_the_print_of_this_page/completely_unreadable/because_the_line_is_sca led/to_fit_on_one_line_of_the_paper/to_show_the_effekt/the_line_must_be_real ly_long/just_like_this/or_even_longer.html
Yeah, reeeal annoying. I went through every option for configuring KMail and every dialog related to printing and didn't see anything to control line length or force line wrapping when printing. Best I could do was save the individual email, open it in a text editor (Kate). Printing in Kate forces line wrapping to the line length dictated by the font for printing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

An auxiliary(?) solution would be, pressing on "Forwarding" or "Answer" and Print it in this condition (Data -> Print, or simply CTRL+P ). Not good, but better than copying/saving and open it with kate. Greetings Michael ;)

Wouldn't that work? Clumsy, but a workaround.
