I think the basic problem you have is your email reader is
mis-configured.  It *should* be autowrapping the text both for receive
and send - if it doesnt you need to find out why.

Correspondingly, the rest of the world uses autowrap and depending on
font and display settings (to say nothing of the extra work needed to
cut&paste - a particular hatred of mine because I sometimes have to do
it!) it can be well nigh unreadable.
