Does Pine wrap lines?

Yes, it does.  Pine by default uses pico as its editor.  What I'm not
too sure of right now is what options pine has for word wrapping.  I'm
pretty sure you can specify the column at which the wrapping should
take place.  I'm not running pine at the moment so can't look for the
specific options for you.  In pine, open the settings menu by hitting
's' from the main menu and 'c' under that takes you into
configuration.  In there is a *LONG* list of various options you can
set.  It is probably one of the most user-friendly configuration
systems in the unix world of things.  In particular look through the
composer options; there should be something in there.

If I got the order of key strokes wrong above, then sorry for the
goof.

I hapen to be using mutt now for my mail because I like some of its
other features but configuring it is quite a bit tuffer at start; it's
another one of those configuration files I don't think you would like:)
