How to set wrap for textmode

Hi Johan,

While that may be true, it is what nearly all major MUAs in Windows
do. That includes Outlook, OE and Eudora. That's got to be 80% of all
windows MUAs. I hasten to add that I use The Bat! which *doesn't* do
this and wraps only during message creation.

Exactly.

Certainly post 2.x then, but in all versions since at least 6.0 AFAICS.
