Uhh, I *do*.  "gqap", actually (iirr).  (Learned that trick here, in
fact.)  That's what I mean by "manually", vs letting the mailer itself
autowrap.

Thing is, if I don't know what's the default max-width of v.o's
messages, being "over" by just 1 char will still do the
long/short/long/short/... rewraps.

Point being that it's not on this end where the rewrap gets done, but
somewhere on the 'vim.org' side, either translating incoming email to
whatever margins, etc., it prefers, else reformatting it somewhat when
sending it back out to the list.

I've had private/offline correspondence with quite many people on this
list, have seen my own replies echoed back, and have yet to see this
wrapping issue apply to any off-list items.

Given that I'm stuck with LookOut here, I have to c&p (^A^X from LO) to
'vim' (shift-<ins>), then

        :g/^> /s//>
        :g/^./s//>&
        gqap            (per paragraph, iirr)

then c&p it back to LO's "draft" before sending.

Crude, but more or less effective.
