Is that not what I said? The /source/ lines are not wrapped, but the GUI 
/visually/ wraps them (as opposed to adding a horizontal scroll bar).

Oh, and what mailer are you using? It appears to be one of the broken 
ones, having butchered the quoting in your last message.

Eh? AFAIK, I haven't changed Thunderbird's settings here, and if you 
look up, you'll see that the bird inserted "Charli Li wrote:". No raw 
e-mail addresses there :-). In fact, I don't even see my Outlook doing it.
