No, can't help you there, but just to make sure that I wasn't spouting
nonsense, I checked a couple of the messages you made that complaint about,
and I see no sign that the text was sent unwrapped.  (Resized the window,
which resizes the text if it is being wrapped locally; make replies and
noted that each line had a ">", instead of just one on the front when lines
are wrapped locally.)

I also can't reply to you directly, as your server rejects my mail.
