   What can one do when replying to a message that overflows?  Is it
possible to prevent mh from breaking words or to make mh join lines?

When replying to a message...

   Hey Eric, when are you ... ... ... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..going to return
   my text book?

this is what I want to avoid...                    ('return' gets cut off)---v

    >  urn
    >  my text book?

and this is what I'd like...

    >  Hey Eric, when are you ... ... ... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..going to
    >  return my text book?

It sound's simple, but I'd like mh to do it.
