Summary: autowrap lines over 1000 chars

Initial Comment:
NNTP has a maximum line length of 1000 chars. emails do

not have the same restriction.

Would it be possible for the script which posts emails

to the mailing list to autowrap all the emails at 1000

characters so that they would still be valid nntp

posts? Currently i'm getting a fair few error 441

returns from NNTP because some emails exceed the line

length limit.



It could wrap at the last space or hyphon before the

1000th character, or something similar.



Thanks.

Mailinglist manager should _not_, I repeat: _not_ change 

autowrap or otherwise mangle messages that a SMTP server is 

not allowed to do. This breaks signed mail and for the purists: 

violates rfc2821.
