Interesting, I've sent an awful lot of patches with claws and I have
wrapping (a useful feature) enabled.  I can't see it being a problem
unless you're writing the patch itself in the claws composition
window...and that would lead to other problems...?

You are right. I had the Auto wrapping disabled because it once messed
up a patch I was editing in the claws composition window. But in
general it works with Auto wrapping enabled. Sorry for that.

Should I change the patch to something like:

To insert a patch use Message->Insert File (CTRL+i) or an external
editor.
If the inserted patch has to be edited in the Claws composition window
Auto wrapping in Configuration->Preferences->Compose->Wrapping should
be disabled.

Or should I resend the patch without any hint to the auto wrapping?

best regards,
richard

The former looks good; it's worth a mention in case somebody does decide
to edit their patches on the way out.  Send a new patch (soon for 3.19)
and I'll apply it.

Thanks,
