wrapping completely for flowed text in the print screen. Fixed in
HEAD and 4.0.2.

It's not that I'm expecting the printed output to look exactly as what
appears on screen - obviously this does depend on the width of the
display window, it's just that extra line breaks seem to be inserted
in the printed output. Imagine if I print the text I've typed here -
it was typed without any line breaks, I've just allowed it to flow.
Now, if I were to print this from IMP, line breaks would be inserted
and break up the flowed text, giving something like;

This has led a client to believe their emails are being sent looking
like this. Obviously they aren't, but has dented their confidence a bit.
If this isn't something that's easily 'fixable', can you tell me where
the arbitary width of 90 is set so I can fiddle?
Cheers :)

what you see on the message view screen should be the way it prints
out. For flowed text, this could not be farther from the truth. In
fact, we just pick an arbitrary number (90 characters, to be exact)
where we wrap flowed text. It sounds like the print window may not be
sized properly to ever display 90 characters exactly (in fact, this
would be a pain to do cross platform/browser).
fixes this problem so it seems the page is being rendered too wide for
the default printer settings. Is there a setting anywhere to set the
rendered page width?

are wrapping incorrectly on the printed output.
For example;
1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 Hello
Will print as;
1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890
1234567890
Hello
(I've shortened the single line above to fit it to this box, but you
get the idea..)
The print preview window also shows this incorrect layout. Widening it
prior to printing corrects the view on the screen but the printer
still prints the incorrect layout. Switching to Landscape cures the
problem. The paper size is A4 but Letter size also gives the same
problem.
