YOUR mails show as wrapped correctly:

However, Aaron Epps' MUA has "helpfully" unwrapped your mail for you ;-)

It should be, it has more features. Including that if you quote back in
the right way in a reply, HTML paragraphs should never get unintentionally
broken up like text paragraphs do, like:

which I find annoying.

The amount of bandwidth wasted due to a few <html>, <p> and <i> tags
should
be miniscule. Much more bandwidth is wasted by not compressing mails, but I
don't see the anti-HTML-mail people complaining about that. ;)

Thank you.
