What does your mail program do when it sees this?:
[this next text was sent as one long line; your system might wrap it]
> A damsel with a dulcimer / In a vision once I saw: / It was an Abyssinian maid, /
>And on her dulcimer she played, / Singing of Mount Abora. / Could I revive within me

[thank you, Mr. Coleridge]
If Pine wraps this line, does it prepend a '>' on the wrapped line(s)?
If "no", doesn't this look horrible in everyday practical use?
(especially when quoting)
If "yes", great, but what if I send you an ASCII picture that gets
wrapped by PINE, thus rendering it unusable?
If Pine doesn't wrap this line, tell me about that.
I'm a member of the "try not to send email with lines >79 characters"
and the "mailers shouldn't touch the contents of email messages"
clubs. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I can tell you that my
tendancy to ignore hard-to-read email is pretty high....
