Allen, if you do get a chance to try this, try opening up the main Entourage
window very wide, or the message window if you read mail that way, and
you'll see that format=flowed and other unwrapped messages will "soft wrap"
to the width of your message or preview window. I received several of these
yesterday on another list. If you have your window width set to just over 80
characters, it's hard to tell the effect because it's getting soft wrapped
to the window width, which is 80 characters anyway. Otherwise the text lines
would stretch well beyond the edge of the screen, like an unwrapped file in
BBEdit would do. But the file is soft wrapped and copying the text from an
unwrapped message to a BBEdit window will result in such a line. I just
tried it here and that's the way it worked for me. Of course, I still agree
that OE/Rage should be able to *send* a message in this manner as well. Even
if not by default.
