None of that should be necessary with a decent program. The line
wrapping setting aside, if the URL extends several times the existing
setting and the URL is wrapped in the < > delimiters, then the URL
should be carried on the same line unbroken. That's the reason for the
delimiters. I know people on Mac that love Thunderbird. If you don't
wish to use it for your Mail Client, then try it for News only. Use both
for News until you are convinced. At least switch to one that works right.
