wrapping of email - article buffer

wrapping of email - article buffer

[Prateek Sadhukhan]

Hi,

I need to configure the article buffer so that it does not wrap
emails/articles when I am viewing them.

Basically if the original author has kept the length of the line to
greater than 80 characters I dont want gnus to wrap the lines and render
it.

I could not find any configuration to do this in the manual. I went
through the article washing section in the gnus manual but nothing
really helped.

Regards,
Prateek

(setq gnus-treat-fill-long-lines nil)

Hello Lars,

Looks like it did not work. I sent an email with a log line from my
gmail (via browser) to my office address. The mail I received in gnus
has all lines wrapped (I am using nnimap to access outlook server). Now
if I look at the mail in outlook the lines are not wrapped.

I checked the value of the variable and it was set to nil.

,----
| gnus-treat-fill-long-lines is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'.
| Its value is nil
| Original value was 
| (typep "text/plain")
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| Fill long lines.
| Valid values are nil, t, `head', `first', `last', an integer or a
| predicate.  See Info node `(gnus)Customizing Articles'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 24.1 of Emacs.
`----

I was also looking at this variable and it was set to nil.

I can't think of any other variables that would affect this...

Are these variables nil in the article buffer?

Does `C-u g' show the message unfolded?  And what does the Content-Type
of the message say?
