Default outgoing line breaks in new messages

Bruce suggested I read about OE-QuoteFix:
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

That information is helpful, but my main problem is not in the changes that
quoting causes. That just happened to occur in this series of messages.
Normally, I do not include entire old messages in my outgoing messages. In
fact, I do not permit it in an email group I run.

My problem is in my own original outgoing email messages. My new messages
that I send to others have greatly varying line lengths, no matter where
I've set my wrap length. It makes me crazy to have to edit the line breaks
repeatedly or else appalls me when I see how others receive my messages if I
don't take that time to edit over and over again.

Are you only sending plain text messages?
Line length settings only apply to plain text messages.

What font are you using to compose your messages?

Do you copy and paste or do all new typing?

Have you ever tried Quoted Printable? Tools, Options, Send, Mail, Plain
text settings, Message sending format.

I would not recommend using quoted-printable because of this:

Best use MIME with Textencoding:None. Should not have any influence on
wrapping, anyways.

What does quoted text have to do with quoted printable?
Quoted printable does not use wrapping. The text fills the width of the
window.
