I would like an auto-wrapping ability, so that $whatever$ substitutions can be made, including of post subject lines and so on, without the need to put the $whatever$ on a line of its own for fear that it might become too long. List texts could be made more compact and readable, then. My suggested mechanism is to have a 'substitution' $wrapN$ that must appear first on a line, optionally after whitespace (like $originalmailN$). It would have effect until the next line in the listtext that is empty or only contains whitespace, and would wrap the text to N columns, prefixing each line with the indent that the $wrapN$ directive had. N would default to 72 if omitted. So you could do $wrap$The subject line of the post was "$subject$". Or indented: $wrap64$The subject line of the post was "$subject$". Or first-line-only indent: $wrap$ The subject line of the post was "$subject$". Ben.
