Hello Tommi,

I don't think this matters much.

If I'm understanding you correctly, WRAP_WIDTH should remain 72 only when
'def_flowed=off', and when 'def_flowed=on' it should be disabled completely?
If that's the case, I agree.

I get the two variables mixed up. I thought LINE_WIDTH is what is causing the
wrap by setting a maximum number of columns per line. Then I thought
WRAP_WIDTH was where it should be looking for a space to wrap at prior to the
last word being typed once it hits 79 columns.

However, I don't see any of those variables being used in the "format=flowed"
section, but since there was no check for flowed on/off *until* the
format=flowed section, it seems to be doing the wrapping either way.

Regards,
Nick
