I've been coming across a problem pasting long URL's into a Kmail email.
They get split onto the 2nd line at a "-" character around the WordWrap
column.

I did find two relevant bug reports:

      https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163609
      http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-7215

but I see the KDE report was raised in 2008, so someone's feet have been
dragging...

The only workaround I've found is to temporarily increase the WordWrap
setting, but works only if I reduce the font size significantly.

Has anyone here found a better workaround?
