Sorry, but I'm using webmail provided by my ISP. I don't have much 
experience with it and haven't discover the word wrap option, if it 
has one. I'll attempt to manually wrap in future.

please set your wordwrap on to ~> 78 chars

You need to configure fetchmail/procmail to deliver to ~/mail rather than
the newer default of ~/Mail

I know how to make procmail put the incoming mail in ~/mail , but mutt
needs to know that in should LOOK in ~/mail and not in ~/Mail ,
I think. At least it doesn't seem to work with just putting the mail
in the new and different place. Notice also I'm not getting quoting with
this mailer. I really am sorry about violations of well establish rules.
but ...
