It can (mine is), but I've forgotten exactly *how* to do so and it isn't  
exactly obvious.

Ah.  Ensure that you don't check "Wrap Outgoing Text at <num>" in the  
Outgoing mail option.

Well, that's how it works at the moment.  The receiver will wrap it upon  
receipt.

However, the RFC governing this should allow you to word wrap your  
outbound version.  That would require another option to explicitly set  
format=flowed.  The implementation would also be a bit tricky.
