It might be a client issue.  Using Eudora I can resize the message window 
to my heart's content and it will fold the lines as appropriate.  Is the 
issue the indentation of the second line so that the header names are the 
only part flush against the left?  The wrapped lines are flush left in my 
client, so the lines that they wrap to do not begin with the header name 
but instead begin mid line where the break occurred.  I can see John's 
point that it is not really pretty.
