Thank you so much for the explanation, Kyle.
I want to save the message as it is, being not wrapped. Is there a way to do
that?
The reason is that I was trying to save a patch for the Linux kernel. If the
patch if wrapped, then it can't be applied anymore. BTW, is there a way to
save just the message (excluding the from addr, subject, etc.)?
Thanks a lot.
