Never!  I want my messages to be displayed the way I formatted them,
not the way some MUA things they should look.

So that it will look the way you want it to look.  And with a good
editor it's no work.

If you have to use things like Apple Mail, you can probably work
around this "feature" by setting the line length to some very long
length.  That way it won't try to wrap.
