           Summary: Wrapping behavior in Composer depending on window size
                    & no auto-break upon send
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: greve at fsfe.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Right now there are two settings for the composer:

 (a) Wrap after a fixed number of characters & then convert the wraps into
line-breaks upon send, suffering among other things from issue #163609

 (b) Turn off wrapping altogether, in which case the text flows out of the
screen & horizontal scrolling becomes necessary

This request is for a third mode:

 (c) Wrap depending upon composer window size (so no horizontal scrolling) and
do *not* turn those wraps into breaks upon sending

which would circumvent issue #163609 as well as provide a saner
standard/alternative behavior than (b), which really is a special case of (c),
IMHO.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
Composer settings should offer:

 [ ] Automatically break lines longer than [xx] columns

and as a potential "expert setting"

 [ ] Turn word-wraps into line-breaks when sending email

although that might be skipped, IMHO, as I am not sure how big this use case
really is. The default behavior should be to auto-break after 78 characters,
the alternative setting should be to wrap in editor for usability purposes, but
not convert those into line-breaks upon send.

Note: Saving emails as drafts or templates needs to inherit these settings, as
well.
