For the Mac Claris Emailer does a great job. Although you can have the
window wider than 75 (or was it 77) characters, it will automatically
wrap the entire text before sending it off. It uses less than 80
characters to allow quoting it for a reply afterwards and still stick to
less than 80 unless the mail gets quoted and quoted repeatedly adding a
quote string each time...by what ever mail software the replying party
uses.
But I understand that Prodigy is mostly used by PC users...but I am sure
there are packages doing the same.
