   That looks like joe (Joe's Own Editor).  If yes, then in the "editor   
   invocation" setting, add "-wordwrap".  You can also add "-rmargin 72"   
   to get a right margin of 72 characters when invoking from your news   
   reader.   
      
   In my tin here, it is line item 106 in the "menu of options" (M [upper   
   case M]), and the full entry looks like this:   
      
   106 Invocation of your editor  : %E -wordwrap -rmargin 72 +%N %F
