Then fine, set the default as whatever width you like
for symbol wrapping, but should that not be done
client-side? For example, when quoting, won't the
text be pushed out further than that hard-wrap limit?

Presumably, prior to sending you are still using soft
wrapping and then it adds the hard-wrapping after,
correct? Otherwise you would need to manually
rewrap when adding a word. Why not merely move
this step to the receiver?
