What's wrong: Under the new release, if I make changes to the text of
my message (eg, delete a few words), the text no longer "wraps" to
accomodate for the changes. I have to manually fix up the spacing in
the lines now.
This is the correct behavior of xmh under X11R4 (meaning the behavior
that the X Consortium intended xmh to exhibit, although it is
debatable whether or not it is the "right thing to do").
If you want to reformat a paragraph which you have edited, type M-q or
ESC q in the xmh window after making the changes, just like in emacs.
If yuou want xmh to automatically wrap text so that it doesn't run off
the right side when you are composing messages, then put this in your
.Xresources file:
xmh*comp.wrap: word
If you want xmh to automatically wrap text so that it doesn't run off
the right side when you are viewing messages, then put this in your
.Xresources file:
xmh*view.wrap: word
