As a brief side-note, having list software force wraps can mess up a
number of other mail features, such as RFC822 headers - not all mail
programs do the 'wrap to next line, indent with tab' method of formatting
mail headers. Sure, you could limit it to mail body, but then you run
into problems when people forward a message with a program like PINE that
doesn't wrap anything - including headers - in forwarded messages.
I looked at several ways of dealing with this in Listar, but finally
decided that it was really an issue that belongs in the mail client, not
in the listserver.
