I think what Peter is trying, in his own fashion, here, Harro, is that you
could possibly set your Characters Per Line (CPL) setting in your mail
client about ten characters shorter than it is now - otherwise the
characters tend to "wrap" (rather than rap ;) that's House of Pain
territory) around, looking aweful on some newsreaders and making it hard to
reply neatly.

I wish to add that this isn't a problem for me personally at all, but I know
that there are some (Pine users, such as Peter, among them) that have a
problem with it so I thought I'd expand on Peter's point.
