There seems to be an oddity with how Discourse handles wrapping on emailed replies. Under certain conditions the reply appears with wide line length and presents a scroll bar. This isn’t really a bug as the text is all there, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a feature either. Is there some way I can make the replies conform to the way an online response appears?
Here is an example, one user (Frank\_Andersen) has replied online and via email, note how his email response appears:
> **[Mystery Wire: 72 XJ6](https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/mystery-wire-72-xj6/348990/7)**
>
> George\_Camp December 3 Frank it is but 2 points--he says his are faded and many times the wire appears orange--he obviously does not have a wire chart and the size of the wire suggests heavy current. So what do you think it is to help him? ...
I suppose I could a cat herders edict about how the users should configure their email, but I’m not really into that game, and neither are the cats.

The problem is that 4 spaces (or more) at the start of a line is the code delimiter in markdown, look at the raw text: [https://forums.jag-lovers.com/raw/348990/7](https://forums.jag-lovers.com/raw/348990/7)
