You most likely created your horrendously long line while the format
option was set to "Preformat" -- change it to "Normal" and your text
will autowrap.  "Preformat" assumes that you know what you're doing;
Normal lets you be lazy.

As for received mail, HTML mail will always be considered "preformat",
and will only wrap when the sender wraps it.  Text will get wrapped
"normal"-ly.
