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>).
