Really? Sorry, I will learn to drive my mailer.

That was my work e-mail. (Yep, it's a Redmond product) I always thought I
had it set up to break lines at 76 chracters (as this should - this is MS
Mail, work is Outlook) It shows that you can't always know unless someone
tells you. I'll endeavor to correct it though, as I would expect long
unwrapped lines are irritating and I agree that mail should be sent per
list protocols.

And I'm sure If this doesn't wrap I'm going to hear it!
