Well, one possibility might be to run all lines together that did not have an empty line between them and let the browser wrap them. I haven't really thought about *how* this would be done though.

If you say so, I find the wrapping on most emails kind of annoying, it also makes things a lot longer vertically then they would be if they wrapped in a more efficent fashion.
