Depends on your reader... I'm currently using Eudora, which
wraps the lines, but many mail readers do not... I agree, if you
have a mail reader that doesn't wrap, it is a pain.

There's not really a whole lot I can do; the text wraps on
the page, and perhaps the person thinks that linefeeds will be
inserted. What I can do is to post a warning on the page to
remind people to hit the enter key once in a while. :)
