Change to more than 80 characters per line

Post by grevier »

Hello,

I understand that way back in time, someone suggested 80 characters per line to be the maximum for email messages. However, I receive non html, plain text email all the time with many more characters per line without any detriment. It looks strange and funny when my messages with very short lines are quoted.

Would POP Peeper Pro allow users to change the number of characters per line to be more than 80?

If so, where in the menu would that option be located? I have not been able to find it.

Thanks.

It doesn't require Pro:
Main menu: Tools / Options
Select the "Send Mail" page
Set Encoding to "quoted-printable"

This is actually the default (since PPv4.0, I believe), but if your PP config file was created before that, the default was "Auto-detect 8-bit (QP)", so you probably have that set.

Thanks, Jeff!

It was set to Auto-detect 8-bit (QP), so I changed it as per your instructions and it works just fine.

Thanks again for your time and expertise, much appreciated.
