Sigh.  Wayne, why don't you just pass on the question?

Harel: what kind of "mail" are you using?  If it's BSD mail or
some variant, such as AT&T's mailx, or a compatible program such
as mush, you'd do a  set crt=23  (probably in a .mailrc file).

If you are really running AT&T mail (aka "binmail"), consider
switching to something else.
