What you think we're running MS Exchange or something? ;-) It's more likely
to be the mailing list software than the mail server itself, which really
shouldn't be touching the contents of messages (not that it stopped Lotus
Notes, a well know abuser of many email standards).

Yet, if you look at my final paragraph, it didn't wrap and it was fairly long.
Easy way to test it is for someone else to type a really long line and see what happens like this. grog will hate me now.
