Although I agree... I thought that I'd point out that it MAY not be their fault. My
current email package at work is Microsloaths Outlook (running on WindowsNT)
and AFAIK this has NO option for setting a line length ! It just dynamically
wraps everything to the window size in its reader, and sends everything as 
a single line !

"Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft , who do you want to annoy today"

On a similar note.. when clicking on "reply" it ALWAYS insists on sending the
message in "Microsofts Rich Text" format.. i.e. that horrible "Winmail.dat" 
garbage is added to the end. It does this even though the flag is set to not send
Rich Text Format. I suppose MS would say this isn't a bug, since it true.. it
doesn't add it if you make a NEW email message and SEND it, only when
you use REPLY to an Email.

PS. in case your wondering .. I had to keep an eye on the text I was typing..
and hit return appropriatly..

P.P.S if this is wrong..PLEASE.. someone let me know !
