Yes, I put my own end of lines after those words. My thoughts are that
it's either the text encoding used (apple likes UTF-8) or the newline
character, traditionally Macs used <CR> though I'm fairly sure the
default is now the unix <LF>, unless it's trying to be windows friendly
and placing <CR>/<LF>..

I don't believe the mail client enforces any wrapping..

I thought maybe it was the mail server doing it..
