Ok you must be using a large screen, because in the read or write window,
it only wraps to screen width, mine is 800x600, so some wrapping occurs,
but check that nice screen again in outgoing and you are in for a
surprise, unless you have textwrapping turned off, it will wrap it, and in
any case, depending on the receiver's window size, wrapping may take
place. I have textwrapping set at 75 characters, and that is what it
wraps to in outgoing mail. You can turn it off, but it will not control
on the receiver's end. Some poor people without graphics cards or AGA and
a lot of ram may be running in 640x480 or less, and then wrapping will
take place no matter what you do. Microdot won't do this AFAIK, when
lines are purposely long. Sometimes that's a hassle, and sometimes it's
an advantage, like with scripts. When I get one, I just import the email
into Microdot from YAM and have done with it. As long as I don't forward
it, no permanent wrapping takes place.
