[ale] Line wrap in Mozilla versus shell based email

[Dow Hurst]

Okay, this is much better!  I've gotten rid of html 
composing and am displaying all mail as plain text.  Also, I 
seem to be wrapping in the composition window as I type 
automagically.  So, I think we have fixed the problems I was 
having.  I hadn't explored all the menus as thoroughly as I 
should have.  I hadn't realized Mozilla had so many options. 
  I have 1.4 here at work and 1.5 at home.  I'll check it 
out tonight.  Thanks to all of you for the help!
