Well, it meets the specification but
I don't think it's what Elizabeth wanted:
on my screen the message I composed
appeared in a small window and
wrapped naturally within the window.

However, when I got it back in the list digest
there was no sign of the narrow 40 character width!

All the lines had expanded to fill my normal window size.
(I've quoted it below so you can see the result.)

Even the "Messagewidth=40" and "[Settings]" were run together
in the text, although they had been put on separate lines
hard carriage returns.
