OK, sorry to waste some bandwith, fellow Newtoneers, but I'm sending this to confirm that when I use the HTLM editor to compose message, create a new message, and then set it to plain text,
Communicator doesn't wrap the long lines. If the lines in this message are not wrapped, that will confirm my theory.

Again, sorry for bothering.
