As best I can tell from experiment the 'internet' insert a couple of hard returns and perhaps a couple of other characters every 1K characters or so (varies with the server it seems). The second problem is that I necessarily use WYSIWYG when I compose but forget to turn it off sometimes.

     The other problem is this.  See only the one quote marker.  By turning
off the wrapping completely it does just that, no wrapping, and most people
end up with a really long line with just the single quote they must now
format manually.

     Turn on reflow, set it to something between 72 and 78.  That is the
standard since, oh, call it `84 or so.
