Noted, but it works fine 99% of the time for me.  I'm not really
interested in trying to get a proper mail client set up on 5 different
devices and 4 different platforms with settings shared between all

sticking to 80 column lines in the first place :).

Although if you have a suggestion for that kind of setup, I'm all ears.
