Hi,


When reading messages in Sup and expanding quoted lines, long quoted
lines are not word wrapped and thus I can't read all the content.
Non-quoted content wraps as expected.

Is this a known issue or could it be a misconfiguration or problem in
my build? I'm currently using commit 7e2bb88 from Sun Jan 23 21:05:39
2011 -0800 on Ubuntu 10.10.

I do have the same problem; very annoying.
I'm on the mainline/next branch.

The left and right arrow keys give you access to text right or left of
your screen.

Of course it would be nice, if sup would wrap these lines as well.

Thanks, it works perfectly! It also seems to live in the wrap_quoted
branch of the sup repository.

cool! Does that mean there is a chance it will finally make it into
master? Or will it like forever be necessary to apply the patch manually?
Just asking, since that patch in the original repo is from september last
year, what /feels/ like a rather longish time to merge a rather basic
patch. Am I mistaken?

thx for ur support!

Yes, I created that branch next weekend. I've now merged it into the
next branch, so go update from git and enjoy :)

And I may get around to reviewing other patches from the same github
fork at some point, but if you spot any you particularly want merged
then shout out and they'll get reviewed sooner ...
