A message that is created with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows gets reformatted for transmission and storage. Normally, the message has an 80 character column width. This is a normal feature for Microsoft Mail for Windows.

NOTE: When viewed by the Microsoft Mail Remote for MS-DOS Remote client, it has the 70 column width formatting.

When the message is transferred back into the MMF Outbox, it is correctly reformatted.

This is simply a design feature of Mail for Windows.
