Since you're using Netscape, merely type and let Netscape do the
wrapping for you. (Line wrap length is set in Edit|Preferences|Mail and
Newsgroups|Messages. 72-75 is good.)
Only hit the return key when starting a new paragraph.
You can check pasted material you are copying by using File|Send Later.
Go to Unsent Messages and view it. If it needs some cleaning up, double
click the message and it will open in a new composition window and you
can easily fix, then send it.
Bonus tip: If you use automatic spell checking and your message has a
lot of technical words, for example, that aren't in the dictionary, you
can avoid spell checking them all by hilighting the last word in your
message. This will cancel spell checking for that message only when you
"Send" it.
