   I don't think the line break to in column 80 works!  I'll get     
   messages that apparently don't have and soft-CRs in the message     
   body and they continue to the full width of my OpenXP display     
   window which is 100 as well.   
      
   Lemme review a few older messages..   
      
   [play the Jeopardy "thinking" tune]   
      
   Nope. The messages still appear full width:

   Is that what you mean?
