This will not work for some.  My screen, when I run X-Windows, is larger
(readable lines are longer, but print is smaller), and cutting/wrapping
lines at 80 columns, would just look stupid to say the least.  Your mail
program, should, wrap your incoming messages, at the length that your
screen is.  If you screen is 80 columns, it should wrap there, but if it
is 132 columns, then it should wrap there.  Just my $0.02.
