An alternate way to do this is to use
 MAILPREP [linelength]
This produces a FO.TMP suitable for pasting or importing (as a file) into your
Email client (stripped of 8-bit chars and the EOF char), with carriage returns
at the end of every line. Defaults are set in REG:

MailPrep_PRNfile=C:\XY4\XYWBMAIL.PRN
MailPrep_Chars_per_Line=60

Whatever you set as your MailPrep_PRNfile must also appear in your PP: table in
SETTINGS.DFL; XyWbMail.PRN is a dedicated PRNfile designed for this job
specifically (can fetch at XyWWWeb: http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/XyWbMail.ZIP).
Whatever you set in REG for Chars_per_Line can be overridden at runtime with a
linelength argument, per above. This is interpreted as chars per line, not mm
or points or inches or whatever (i.e. assumption is a monospaced font). 50
chars, 70, whatever you like.

Works wonderfully.
