yeah, that is the problem I'm having.

Plain text cannot be rewrapped, unless it uses the flowed-text format. Messages sent from sqwebmail are rewrappable only because they use the flowed-text format.

Unless you know where the paragraph breaks are, you cannot rewrap plain text. One newline is just like any other newline. You cannot make half-assed assumption, otherwise you'll screw up messages that are intentionally formatted for a specific line width, such as tabular data.
