I get the feeling sometimes that either mailman or Outlook completely ignores
where I am putting my line breaks and put them wherever it pleases.
Do you introduce line-breaks manually except when passing to a new paragraph? If so, the solution is simple: don't do that. Outlook will automatically cut the line to a certain number of characters, configurable from File->Options->Mail->Message Format. If you really want to control your message, you can set that to a very high value (like 150 or something).

Yes. I've been manually introducing my line breaks. I was doing it at 80 characters, now I am doing it at 74. I always have a text editor open so it isn't too much work for me to just type my message in there and use the verticle line I have placed at 80 or 74 characters, depending on what I am doing.
The other reason I manually format my messages though is that I really hate all of the junk Outlook puts into a message when you reply. I much prefer the clean kind of look that these messages have.
Definitely will be chaning that option. Then I can have my text editor set at 80 all the time.
