Microsoft Exchange can be used without sending your readers into
'scroll mode', but as far as I can tell, there's no "automatic" way to
get it to insert <cr> at the end of a line, it word wraps eveything to =
whatever screen size your currently using to compose the message in (for =
those without word wrapping readers, see what I mean <grin>).
  After exchanging several messages with people early after I started
using MS Exchange, I realized I had to do this myself or incur the wrath
of my intended recipient!

This is _not_ good news.  Boeing has just decided to use Microsoft
Exchange for its corporate e-mail system.  I think I'll keep my Pine
account, anyway :-)
