  Except that it probably won't work any better with off-line
readers because they change the file after the editor is done
with it -- what happens usually is the header gets corrupted and
the mail won't go anywhere. I tried doing it several different
ways, a multitude of times. Probably someone can find a simple
fix, but I couldn't, at least for Yarn, and Yarn is so good
otherwise that I can live with having to enter hard carriage
returns manually --- and that's just with some editors, BTW, one
of which is XY. Other editors use a word wrap which works just
fine with e-mail, and with Yarn.
