I'm having a problem with my archive not doing line wrapping, ie, each paragraph in a message shows as an infinitely long line that requires horizontal scrolling to read. The following message was posted on this list a couple of years ago, but the thread ended and I didn't see any further comment. Does anyone know if this is still applicable? Is it a global change or can it be done list by list? Are ISPs generally willing to make such a change?

The two settings mentioned by Tokio are still in the source so I assume they're still applicable.

It is a global change to the source code. Also, I think the archive will need to be rebuilt (bin/arch --wipe) following the change to make the change effective for existing posts in the archive.
Are ISPs generally willing to make such a change?
Some may be, but I think generally not because most are unwilling to make customizations that have to be remade with every update, even if they are willing to make mm_cfg.py or template changes.
