I went back and read my own posts. The lines would wrap automatically
as I changed window size. I did find the line setting and change it
from 76 to 70 but it didn't effect anything.

I've always thought that these kind of communications shouldn't have
any line feeds at all because screen sized vary and the viewers take
care of the formatting. Putting in your own line feeds often results
in every other line only having a couple of words.

70 or 72 is pretty standard for everybody.
