For what its worth, I have this problem to, and for a full detail of what
is happening with your message, I am manually puttingin the line wraps
where they should be, and you will note that part of your message, Sherry,
has been chopped from my view. I have added the ">>" characters to where
there should be line breaks in Sherry's initial question, but where there
aren't.

The other day, I actually e-mailed the support people over at Netscape to
see if they could do anything about it in a future release, and the fellow
didn't have the foggiest idea what I was talking about.  He thought I
wanted to know how to make the lines wrap in my Netscape Mail window, but
that was not my question.  I replied in kind and have not yet heard back
from them again....

Personally, I think there should be some sort of internet standard for
e-mail which dictates that all lines of text must have a carriage return
and line feed at the end of every 80 characters.  Anyway, I'm now beyond
the scope of this list, so I guess I should get off my soapbox here...
