- Yup - Motif is different from XUI. :-)

- Read /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/dxMail. Actually, put a copy in your home
- directory and edit it.
-
- To answer the second question first - look for the following:
- ! To enable word-wrapping in the send window,
- ! uncomment the following two lines:
- !*send*XmText.wordWrap: on
- !*send*XmText.scrollHorizontal: off
-
- So, strip the leading "!" from the following lines.
-
- Fonts are more "interesting".
- The entries you probably want to change:
- *tocList*DXmfontListDefault: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
- *tocList*DXmfontListLevel0: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
-
- These are the fonts used by the table-of-contents widget - the message
- subject lines.
- *Item.fontList: *-*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-1
- This sets the font used by the folder buttons.
- *XmText.FontList: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
- *Text.FontList: *-*-*-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-M-*-ISO8859-1
- This gets the text font for almost everything else.
-
- Hope this helps..
