I did some furthertesting and found that MS Exchange has trouble when it encounters commonreply symbols such as < and >.  It seems to have trouble deciding depth of
reply quoting and instead tries to create single lines 'on-the-wire'. The
workaround was to manually set a finite column width in the configuration.
That appears to have fixed it (for now....).

Chazzozz!!
