Your problem is related with the fact that I changed the formatting from fixed font to proportional font ("ELCode"). This gives you three options:

Hi Stefan,
I tried your suggestions with 'page shrinking' and 'message width', but they didn't help. What I do not understand is why this problem occurs only if the
message text is formatted as plain text. The lines are printed correctly, if the text is formatted as EL code or as HTML.

The lines are still cut, if printed on paper.
I played again with the 'message width' parameter, which actually the key parameter in my problem. I saw in the source, that the default value is now 112,
but it was 76 in the elog version we'd used previously (V2.5.2). If I set 'message width' to 76 again, it works fine for new entries!

You're right. I don't know what I've tested this afternoon ;)
Without the fixed font the text might get very small, if the line is too long.
I think we'll set 'message width' = 76.
