If somebody should be interested, there's a thread at
https://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2019-June/024247.html.

Somebody already posted a screenshot of a smart phone text, that is
broken due to line wrapping at 72 chars. Smart phone users expect all
other computer users to resize windows to wrap lines, which not
necessarily does the job, usually it's required to side scroll, while
they simply could rotate the text or don't use a smart phone at all.

My bank replied to my complain related to the new online banking web
site, that became unclear, that it now could be used with a smart phone.
Are people using smart phones in their home offices? Are people doing
banking in the streets? Why don't they use a tablet computer, if they
want a portable device?

What next? Carpenters using a smart phones to nail?
Shouldn't carpenters continue using hammers or nailguns instead of
smart phones?
