Drew,
No dice.
In my Outlook 2000 (MS Office 2000), at the 'Message Format'
(SECTION), there is _no_ 'Settings...' (BUTTON) ???
Even with the selection of "Plain Text" I tested by sending a very
long sentence and when I received it with Pine, the line is still left
untouched, ie no word wrap (w/ CR, of course)
