    Then don't set it greater than 80 characters.  Let me put it this way.
Right now you're not wrapping at all and that is the WORST thing you can do.
The 100% worst thing because when people reply they have to work a LOT to
make
it reasonable.  So what you're saying is, hey, set the window to les than 80
characters, etc, etc, etc.  So, turn on reflow and set the window to less
than
80 characters.  It isn't rocket science.
