Trust M$ to buck the trend....

MS Exchange 5+ has a server-side configuration that allows an Admin to
globally set line wraps.  This will apply to *all* email regardless of
format (plaintext, rich-text, HTML).  If an MUA is locally set to wrap at
line 'xx' and it exceeds Exchange's setting then Exchange will also break
the line further.  So, if your organisation uses Exchange, contact your mail
Admin and ask if they've set line wraps and at how many characters.  Another
'feature' courtesy of our friends in Redmond, WA...

Chazzozz!!
