Re: Replying to emails in pine refuses to word wrap

FWIW ... my primary version of Pine is 4.33 ... has this problem so it has
been around a long time.

The underlying problem is that many/most mail clients send whole
paragraphs with a single CR/LF so pine doesn't get line breaks. Along the
way it was fixed for reading mail, but not the reply (or some special
option is needed).
