Interesting, I've sent an awful lot of patches with claws and I have wrapping (a useful feature) enabled. I can't see it being a problem unless you're writing the patch itself in the claws composition window...and that would lead to other problems...?

thanks for your reply.

You are right. I had the Auto wrapping disabled because it once messed up a patch I was editing in the claws composition window. But in general it works with Auto wrapping enabled. Sorry for that.

Should I change the patch to something like:

To insert a patch use Message->Insert File (CTRL+i) or an external editor.
If the inserted patch has to be edited in the Claws composition window Auto wrapping in Configuration->Preferences->Compose->Wrapping should be disabled.

Or should I resend the patch without any hint to the auto wrapping?

best regards,
richard

The former looks good; it's worth a mention in case somebody does decide to edit their patches on the way out. Send a new patch (soon for 3.19) and I'll apply it.

Thanks,

jon
