I would agree.  I can't actually disable it though.  Outlook
automatically defaults to 80.  I can make that number smaller
if I want, but I cannot seem to make it larger, or disable it
all together.  Generally ok for mailing lists and the like, but
it means I am forced to use HTML mail for blogs and such, unless
I want my email client to mangle my post. ^^;;

I manually word wrap my writing. I generally eyeball it on the first
few lines, then match the rest to that.  The result tends to be
somewhere between 50 and 70 characters which is fine for most modern
mail readers, GUI or console. ^_^
