it came frm a desire to have good looking quotes instead of chopped off lines
or crappy wrapped lines with no reflow which gave us what was known as chainsaw
quotes...

if you put a blank line between each line, they won't be wrapped together...

TimED has/had the capability of wrapping a message and leaving certain lines
along... lines like tables and charts... the block of the table or chart was
started and terminated by two tildes on their own lines or each line was
prefixed by a tilde... the tildes were removed and each line had a hard CR
placed at the end of the line... since paragraphs only have a CR at the end of
the paragraph, this worked quite well...

i think you have already mentioned that winpoint strips the hard CRs at the end
of the lines and forces them to be wrapped... maybe there's a setting for that
in the config? if not, it is another design flaw...
