OK, I understand and don't have any problem with this. I know it's
really annoying. I'm using Communicator 4.7 at work to read/send email.
I set it to send text messages when the recipient is not HTML capable,
but it looks now that this doesnt have anything to do with carriage
returns to wrap long lines. I'm typing this message now with the text
editor, instead of the HTML editor, and I can see that there are still
long lines. If you can confirm, that will tell me I was right. I'm not
sure if Communicator can post-process my message after I send it, it may
and it may not, so that's why I'd like you to let me know how this
specific message is looking for you.

So, anybody knows how to "force" Communicator to wrap long lines in
outgoing messages?

-Laurent.
