Actually, I was thinking of requesting a feature that made MHonArc reformat
paragraphs into a single long line in the HTML output, since HTML viewers
*do* handle word-wrapping.  Seems to me that in this case, the
MHonArc-outputted messages will be more readable than the original emails
they came from.  *shrug*  A matter of taste, I guess.
