- ~/dxMail is where you add the definitions that turn on wordwrap.

- The 'To:' line is treated just like the rest of the message body. If you're
- creating a 'To' line that's too long, I *think* you can just un-wrap it.

- See mh-alias(5mh). You want a private (or system) alias for these long
- address lists.
