When someone replies to your wrapped message, it will not use the wrapping settings of the initial message but the local client’s wrapping settings.When you view your message in the Sent Items folder you will not see the automatically wrapped text unless you are using an IMAP account from Gmail (as in that case the Sent Items are added by the mail server upon sending the message instead of directly by Outlook).Client settings for text wrapping is only respected for POP3 and IMAP accounts. When the message is being sent with an Exchange or account, the wrapping settings of the sending server is being used.When you receive a Plain Text message yourself (just to be clear that the setting only applies to your own messages sending out).When doesn’t it wrap?Įven when you are sending out a Plain Text message, the line wrapping might not occur as you may expect. This simple option has quite a few complex conditions for it to work. Note that this break will not be done in the middle of a word, but before the word that puts the line over the configured length. The default value is to wrap at a maximum line length of 76 characters when wrapping is supported. File-> Options-> Mail-> section: Message format.You can set the text wrapping option in the following location: Of course, there are a few (complex) exceptions to these basic rules just to keep things fun and interesting -) Setting the wrapping option It doesn’t apply to HTML messages nor what you see while composing the message itself. The main thing to realize is that this option only applies to Plain Text messages and controls how the message is being received by the recipient. The wrapping text option is a bit trickier to understand than its description suggests. Why isn’t it working or what is this option supposed to do then? The same is true for the received message. When I compose a message, the line still goes on forever and doesn’t break into a new line at character 40 at all. I’ve set Outlook’s “Automatically wrap text at character” option to 40 instead of the default 76 but it doesn’t appear to do anything.
