While many mail clients will accomodate unwrapped text:

Thank you.


I'd also recommend a couple of linefeeds between paragraphs.

Several proprietary products offer Linux solutions as well, with network

Microsoft (gee....let's _kill_ our own product), CAV offers this
according to marketing materials).

You can provide for this via several means, a transparent network proxy
(most updates use http transfer) being among the simplest.

You need to do your research before posting.  There are many products
providing these capabilities.
