            Bug ID: 315313
           Summary: Kmail: Hard line breaking turned on by default
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.9.4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: blueglacier414 at gmail.com

I noticed that by default, hard line breaking is activated. This makes
an
email harder to
read
espacially on low-resolution-screens
such
as cell phones, 
while on big screens, there
will 
be a huge empty space in the thight corner of the window, which is not
appropriate. Do you know what I mean? It took some time to find out how to
disable it. Finally, I made it, but what's the use of it? Maybe there are some
who swear on it, but I guess for 90 percent of all users this is just annoying
feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a fresh Installation of Kmail
2. Create a new Mail and write some text.
Actual Results:  
You will see that by default Kmail does a hard line break before the window
ends.

Expected Results:  
The text should fill out the hole window and adapt itself dynamically to its
size just directly after the Installation. Also, in the Options menu (of the
composer?), you will find "Line Breaking" enabled by default. This is an
unnecesscary handicap. It is easy to disable, but it is annoying.
