Well, I don't think that it makes any difference how
you set your wrapping.
If I receive your text, it is conformed to MY wrapping
setting. Then when I reply to that mail, my wrapping
setting determines how you will see that email. See
the replied email below to see how my reader wrapped
your email (that's how I got it...no changes were done
by me!)
I suppose that some *nix wonk will tell us of some
Pine MIME hack that runs in PERL that will strip
return characters from email...but that doesn't do a
lot of good to end users running GUI mail readers!
