Speaking of pine and line wrapping, is it possible to steal[1] Pine's
line-wrapping code for sylpheed? Pine wraps quoted text better than
sylpheed (I often have to unquote, wrap, then requote) and I've noticed
that sylpheed has trouble wrapping blocks of text if the line after a
long line of text contains just a space. Long text followed by an empty
line wraps fine. IIRC this affects claws as well.

In the grand scheme of things, I'd rank changing line wrapping higher
than adding a .signature editor. :)
