Yes, linewraping problems are very common, e.g. ...
- when reading e-mails, e.g. mailing list mails.
- when transferring text from an e-mail to a word processor. This is
  sometimes needed when telecommuting or when doing contract work in
  case there are problems with attaching files.
- when printing ReadMe.txt type text files.

Just for fun I wrote a small programme in Visual Basic 3 to solve
that problem + the problem with reading the =FC type codes (=FC is u
umlaut). After a lot of adjustments, it worked fine, and I now use it
daily, mainly for reading mailing list e-mails (especialy the German
mailing lists have many difficult-to-read mails.) Some of my friends
saw it, liked it, and got a copy.

I then decided to make it a shareware programme called TrimTXT.

A free 30-days demo for Windows 3.1+ is now downloadable (~60k) from
http://isa.dknet.dk/~prc/software/index.html

A full licence can from today be achieved from PsL (Public software
Library) who accepts creditcards. If you live in Denmark, you can
also register it directly by me.
