Famouse Topic "Why can't M2 shows email body Fit-To-Width" ?

Hi,

My M2 is fresh install,
Choose HTML view on incoming message.

I am fine I can always see people's email with colors font, formatting ....etc.
Except, some incoming email JUST-NOT FIT-TO-WIDTH and I have to be bother to click the horizontal scroll bar move to the right in order to read the whole email body.

Is there anything I can set so that M2 can FOREVER showing EVERY incoming emails FIT-TO-WIDTH ?

Thank you

It was disabled for mail because other changes in Opera caused fit-to-width to break message display. It will not be re-enabled for mail until it's fixed.

Even then, the only way to enable it all the time for mail would be to enable it all the time for web pages too via the option in "Ctrl + f12 -> webpages". You would need to make a feature request to have a separate fit-to-width setting just for mail.

However, one problem needs to be solved either way. When users enable fit-to-width globally for web pages, some web pages break. The problem with that is that users forget that they enabled fit-to-width and think Opera has a bug. This same thing would happen with mail too where some messages wouldn't display right and users would forget that they had fit-to-width enabled and think that M2 has a bug. So, this needs to be solved too.

This is because there's some line in the source of the message that doesn't have any break opportunities.

Ongoing user requests to Add "Fit to width" to "Site preferences" were persistently ignored by Opera Software for many years. no

Yes. But, that doesn't mean anything for mail, necessarily.
