I wasn't going to mention that that is, infact, my innate reaction. :)

Funny thing; Netscape does the auto-wrap properly. If the Sun mailtools
don't, you might look and see if you can replace the default editor with
something like Pico or Emacs which /does/ handle wrapping properly.
Remember, its not just common curtesy, its common curtesy that ensures
that others bother to read what you invested so much time in writing.
