one of my listowners would like to customize the welcome-message, but wants to have a subject of more than 40 characters. Well, should not be a real problem... however, the text-entry-area wraps at 80 characters.
Some are lost to the "Subject: "-String, some are lost to TT2-statements, so in fact my listowner currently hits a 20 character limit. :-(

If I tried to increase the linewrap-limit, would I hit any problems I'm currently unaware of?

For some strange reason the editfile.tt2 template had the wrap attribute set to "hard" which forces line breaks.
I've restored it to "physical" :
Hmmmmm, according to my HTML-reference, that won't help. "wrap" is not part of the HTML-standard and is treated differently by the usual suspects...

wrap="soft", used by Netscape 4.x, line-warp while when textarea is displayed, but no line-wrap when submitted.

wrap="hard", used by Netscape 4.x, line-wrap both for display and submission.

wrap="virtual", Internet Explorer starting with 4.x and Netscape 2.x and 3.x, equals wrap="soft".

wrap="physical", Internet Explorer starting with 4.x and Netscape 2.x and 3.x, equals wrap="hard".

wrap="off" Internet Explorer starting with 4.x, Opera starting with 7, Netscape, Konqueror and Firefox interpretiert, no wrap

So I'd consider 'warp="off"' to be the only sensible setting. Would it break anything? Is there a limit on the size a single line can have, both in sympa and TT2?
