OK I take your point. I suppose that I always think to myself that everyone I send to will have a mail client that soft wraps but I suppose that this might not be the case so I best obey Netiquette.
Another point I noticed, with "Auto Wrap" turned on, pasting text does not cause it to be auto wrapped. Only pressing space seems to trigger an auto wrap calculation. Is this intentional?
