To all you Open Lookers complaining about line(word) wrap in Mailtool
and other textsw based applications under Openwindows :

From xview(1) (VERY long man page...) :

     Resource:      text.lineBreak
     Values:        Clip, Wrap_char, Wrap_word (Wrap_word)
     Description    Determines how the textsw treats  file  lines
                    when  they  are too big to fit on one display
                    line.

I Guess this just about says it all, and yes, I have tested it and
it works fine (Clip doesn't really clip well, but Wrap_char works
allright). So, all you need to do is add the following line to your
private .Xdefaults file:

text.lineBreak:                 Wrap_char
