Text wrap control won't work in Outlook 03

[Dave M]

I have followed the menu as below

Tools: Options: Mail Format, Internet Format.
Then under "Plain text options"
Then- "Automatically wrap text at "X" number of
characters." (I set this number to 65 characters)

In spite of these settings, My text will not wrap at all.
I sent messages to myself just to check and see if sent
messages would show up wrapped according to my settings.
No change.

I want to force my text to wrap at 65 characters

I Searched the knowledge base under "text wrap"
This brought up the following

Line Wrapping Does Not Appear As Expected When You Send
E-Mail Messages in Outlook 2003

Is this the solution I am looking for? It is a little
hard to tell from what is written.

This solution requires tampering in the registry. I've
not done this before and the warnings have me a little
worried, but I follow instructions well.

A little guidance from someone at a higher tech level is
appreciated.

trying to be patient..

As the article says, you'll need to edit the registry. Make a backup first
and you'll be fine. You might also find the information at
