Discussion:
Line-wrapping the GPG key identity selection menu

I've been sending GPG-encrypted e-mails with mutt, and I've noticed that
the key ID selection menu, the one that shows up when there is more than
one identity in a given recipient's key, is a bit too long for 80
columns.

This means that, when I send encrypted e-mails from an 80-column
terminal, at least with some GPG keys, I can't read the e-mail address
associated with each identity, as it goes beyond the 80th column.

Is there any way to deal with this in mutt? An option to wrap long lines
in menus, or keybindings to scroll the menu left/right?

I guess this applies to any menu with sufficiently long lines. Right
now, in the message index, I am unable to see the entire message subject
for some messages in an 80-column terminal.

In this case I can open the message in the pager and see the subject
there, but, out of curiosity, is there any other way to see the full
subject, line-wrapped?


But I start thinking what I really want is to be able to scroll
left/right...
