Stop Gnus word-wrapping (plain text) messages

Stop Gnus word-wrapping (plain text) messages

[Sergey Organov]

Hello,

When I display a (plain text) message in Gnus by hitting <ENTER> at the
message in the Summary buffer, the display of the message content ends
up being word-wrapped at some (apparently fixed) column.

When I display the same message raw, by pressing <C-u g> in the Summary
buffer, long lines are just truncated, exactly as dictated by my generic
settings.

I want to disable this word-wrap (apparently performed by Gnus), but
can't figure how to achieve this. Please help!

Gnus v5.13

GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5,
cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-03-08, unofficial emacs-snapshot build:
http://emacs.ganneff.de/,
git commit 0a3f8da6e1a56ada409cf1677ac40fcc75a8a33c

M-x customize-variable gnus-article-truncate-lines

Normally that follows the value of `truncate-lines', though.

Thanks for the hint, but this is not it. It does have effect though,
exactly according to its documentation, see below.

Does not seem to be the case, at least in my version of Gnus, according
to its doc-line: " Value of ‘truncate-lines’ in Gnus Article buffer".

What I observe though is word wrap in Gnus Article buffers, as opposed to
truncation/continuation. Still can't figure what does it. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Check out the variables gnus-article-fill-long-lines,
gnus-treat-fill-article, gnus-article-fill-cited-article

No such variable in my Gnus v5.13, but you gave me a hint where to look,
and I've finally found the culprit:

Hide Gnus Treat Fill Long Lines: Value Menu Predicate: (typep "text/plain")
    State : STANDARD.

gnus-treat-fill-long-lines is a variable defined in ‘gnus-art.el’.
Its value is (typep "text/plain")

Thank you guys for your help!
