I have no idea how or if it is possible to do either.

winapi update

You can change the number of the line wrapping. Tools -> Options -> Mail 
Formating -> Internet Format -> Plain Text Options.

This is a part of my mail sent to Guy in order to help him to send patches
using Outlook Express. I hope that it will be helpful for Outlook users too.

Since I was using OE to send patches, I have found a way to send diffs as
attachments and without \n vs. \r\n problem.

You need following two things to make it work.

1. Make sure that .diff files have \r\n line ends, because if OE detects
that there is no \r\n line endings it switches to quoted-printable format
attachments.

2. Using regedit add key "Content Type" with value "text/plain" to the
.diff extension under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (same as for .txt extension). This
tells OE to use Content-Type: text/plain instead of application/octet-stream.

Item #1 is important. After you hit "Send" button, go to "Outbox" and using
"Properties" verify the message source to make sure that the mail has correct
format. You might want to send several test e-mails to yourself too.

Ah the joys of forcing even utterly BROKEN programs like Outlock into
half-compliance with today's reasonable standards that are being obeyed
by everyone else but Microsoft ("EEBM")...

I guess we might want to put a linked page right next to the wine-patches
mailing list stuff about certain helpful settings for some email programs
(if they deserve to be called like that)...
