It is very difficult to read some e-mail I receive as the text does not wrap to the window.
As a result I have to scroll to the right for several pages. This is inconvienent and har to
read.

Is there a way to turn on the wrap for the reading window?

Thanks,
Dave

Depending on the format of the message, it may not be possible. For some
messages, the sender controls the format. What is the format of the
received message?

I am going to guess HTML...

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:o =

Then the answer to your question is that wrap is already on for the
view pane. But, the HTML code most likely defines an absolute
size/structure for the page, and there's nothing you can do about it,
unless you happen to be the author of the email...

And HTML is definitely not the only rigid-format document you'll
receive via email. When you actually open it, hopefully things will
be the right size. If not, then the issue is actually on the sender's
end...

O, how I wish it could ALL be text ;-)
