Most emailers also have a display [only] option for word wrap. This does not physically reformat the original message in your computer's memory, just during display. Therefore, for things like longs lines where you want to keep them intact, you would either just widen your display window or turn the word display wrap feature off.
Personally, I favor this approach rather than forcing the sender to set the wrap - you never know what the other side will be doing and I personally hate it when someone does a message which is only 40 characters wide (yes, that has happened to me more than once :) ).

Sorry Colin for the problem,
I usually write Email without any formatting or lf setting (ie. I suppose that it should be the Email program on the other side that should reformat the message according to the window width).
Is it only with me that happens the problem?Nope - me also. Any good mailer will accept and _not_ reformat mail. There is often a very good reason for not formatting - program listings or long URLs.
I have to manually reformat your mail (and a number of others).
