Doesn't MT-NewsWatcher wrap USENET posts for you? Or do the line
lengths you see always extend to large numbers of characters, such as
73 or more?

Well, my newsreader (Opera) does, then again it also recognizes soft &
hard newlines, even in quotes, so the display is not wrapped but just
maximizes the use of the window. One could easily be fooled into
thinking there was no line-wrapping unless you looked at the source.

TB does that too, but only sometimes. I can't discern the When and Why
of it.

It think it's got to do with the 'Content-Type: .... format=flowed' bit in
the header.
