Hi Laurent,

might I also ask you to re-think your decision? Everybody in KDE-land lived
with the expected behaviour that Danny describes for years (10 for me). I,
personally, have never noticed any issues with long URLs - is it true that a
soft break that only exists in the editor window *display* could corrupt the
URL? I'll check next weekend on another machine with KDE4.6, can't believe.

The "fixed" behaviour now is just crazy. Every paragraph I write in my e-mail
is one single line only (that extends to many many times the window width and
requires extensive horizontal scrolling). This is crazy from a usabiltiy
standpoint!
Of course, I can switch to fixed linebreak at 78 but this is not what I want.
The receiver's mail client should decide when to break the lines - a smartphone
is much different from a 16:9 widescreen... Same goes with me when composing
the text - way different between Netbook and Desktop. 78 for everything is not
the solution!

Please revert the change or think about a solution that fixes the URL problem
without breaking basic mail editing functionality...

Thanks
Tobias
