Point well taken. I usually have it at 78 but used 90 for a project and then
forgot about it...

You missed the point. Scrolling to no end to your right (even on a 19 inch
monitor) is a huge pain for me and renders replying to SOME messages almost
unfeasible, but THEY don't care. I'm certainly not an expert but many people I
deal with are completely new to computer so they're totally clueless anyway.
As I mentioned most do NOT take action even when I request it. Hence my hope
for some kind of way to force the re-wrapping of endless lines for replies...

PP> And last but not least: use a signature delimiter.

Forgive my ignorance, Peter, but what the heck is a "signature delimiter"?!
