OK, after seeing my above message, I think I understand how it works. If
I set it to use the plain text editor, then the messages are text only
and are hard wrapped to 72 chars. If I set it to use the HTML editor,
and convert the message to plain text, it doesn't seem to wrap the
message, which would lead me to believe it's a bug in Communicator?
