To set the line length in outgoing newsgroup messages
Outlook Express automatically sets the line length of messages using plain
text format at 76 characters per line. This accommodates news servers that
do not display more than 80 characters per line. When messages are quoted in
a reply, the original text is usually marked and indented with an additional
character. If your message is likely to be quoted after posting, set your
text to wrap at 70 or 72 characters per line to prevent text from running
beyond the edge of the window.

  1.. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2.. On the Send tab, in the News Sending Format section, select Plain
Text, and then click the Plain Text Settings button.
  3.. In the text box for Automatically wrap text at x characters when
sending, type the number of characters you want displayed per line.

How do I set Outlook Express to wrap message lines to the edge of the OE
message pane?
