This is my setting:

I don't think the line break to in column 80 works!  I'll get  
messages that apparently don't have and soft-CRs in the message  
body and they continue to the full width of my OpenXP display  
window which is 100 as well.

Lemme review a few older messages..

[play the Jeopardy "thinking" tune]

Nope. The messages still appear full width:

Is that what you mean?
