#244 Mail would be better word-wrapped at 70 columns.

Please let me know if this has been addresses in later versions

Package: joe
Version: 3.3-5
Severity: wishlist

Could you please set the default -rmargin for mail (*tmp/mutt-*) to 70
columns, as prescribed by the Netiquette? With the current default of
77, lines quoted multiple times by users of lesser editors/mailers
without proper reformatting capabilities tend to wrap around nastily
pretty fast.

It seems to me that this is best handled in the mail.jsf syntax file, so that a default linewrap could be specified.

However, I cannot find any guide for writing syntax files, and so I can't guess if there's an easy way to specify this.

I, too, would like a 70-char width default for email.
