Here is a MUCH better example of the problem HT. This is a message that
was sent to via a list (which introduces yet other restrictions), but
illustrates the point we've been making without PowerMail being in the
middle, so what you see below is EXACTLY how 100's of other's also saw
this message:

im hoping that at some in the near future  emagic corrects this .i ve 
had this problem before
cant remember what i did to solve it
 but now it  is a problem
here it is
please insert orignal cd  within a week to use program

So what mailer was used? 

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/
20030208 Netscape/7.02

One that allows you do exactly what you want, set the line lengths to the
exact length you want. And I'm afraid we've all gotten each other's
point, but I have to ask. Why is it if you know that you'll break
something that you still do it? As I see it it's like using a 20-lb
hammer to nail in finishing nails? You know you'll do some damage (cause
you've seen it already), but you still won't change the way you drive the
nails. There are way too many factors involved in text email for a true
WYSIWYG on both ends without resorting to HTML, MIME, or RTF. If you
really want to set your line lengths then you really should consider A)
another application because I don't think PM is going to change this in
the near future B) look at sending HTML, MIME, or RTF mail which would
mean moving from PowerMail.
