err, this makes no difference to users, they see exactly the same thing
(unless they look at the po-files with a text-editor, and the average user

as to fixing it run 'msgattrib --nowrap' to kill wrapping of lines, or
'msgattrib --width=<some-number>' to wrap at your preferred width

1. Encrypted mail preferred (GPG KeyID: 0x86624ABB)
2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
