yes... install Version 3.0 when you get it.

or yes. switch to NeXTmail with a fixed font and set your window to 80 
characters wide.  Then paste in your mail.  (how to set your window
to 80 characters... My mail font is the same font as my Stuart font,
thus I size my window to the same size as my Stuart.

because it isn't possible under 2.x.  period.  I have tried.  NeXT
says... "wait for 3.0".
