that's funny...i was sure it did that automatically.  that was the
only explanation i could come up with for why things like sendmail.cf
and named.boot got royally screwed up when edited by admin that was
not me.

it also "solves" the problem of people sending me long-lined log
snippets that are "line-wrapped" at about that column in an
infuriating manner.  and why, after i "unwrap" them for a reply, the
reply to my reply has them wrapped again.
