This happens with a couple of interactive processes and while reading USENET news in GNUS ... some people are inclined to make lines of exactly eighty characters long, LFD not included. I don't want the lines truncated; I just don't want them wrapped if they could be displayed on one screen line; the invisible LFD doesn't concern me when reading things. I realize this is something that needs to be changed in the C source if it were to be added at all so I'm not making some sort of random call for help. I was just curious if anyone else desired such behaviour occasionally and should we push it as a suggestion for a future change.
