Thank you so much for the explanation, Kyle. I want to save the message as it is, being not wrapped. Is there a way to do that? The reason is that I was trying to save a patch for the Linux kernel. If the patch if wrapped, then it can't be applied anymore. BTW, is there a way to save just the message (excluding the from addr, subject, etc.)? Thanks a lot. Lin
