Because of quotations, the recommendation is to set the word-wrap at 72 to 78 characters per line (I have currently set it to 76, but it can be temporarily disabled). The less characters per line in the original text, the more quotation levels can be added without reformatting quotations, trimming/summarizing them aside. (There is no consensus on whether quotations should be reformatted to fit the 80-characters limit or not; I think they should, with few exceptions, and I do so.) Another newsreader setting that leads to less readable threads is omitting quotation characters for otherwise empty quoted lines, causing jumps in the quotation levels that are particularly disturbing if different colors or shades of a color are used to format different quotation levels. -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not Cc: me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
