Why use formail?

That seems to be a question akin to "I'm looking for documentation on 
how to use a chainsaw to lose weight". While you *could* do that, most 
people wouldn't *want* to, because there's *probably* simpler (and 
more pleasant) ways to achieve what you really want.

First: is there a reason that mutt's built-in line wrapping is 
undesirable? (If all you want is to get rid of the "wrapped line" 
markers, you can just unset $markers in your muttrc.)

Second: have you investigated using $display_filter (and something 
like the par utility) to handle those long lines?

Third: if you've gotten to this point, why is this a mutt question?
