Hi Bill,

It's the '#' that's doing it.  The '#' is used as a quote just like the
'>' symbol.   It came up a while back.  I think it's supposed to be a
feature.

(See message dated Wed, 20 Apr 2005 12:48:16 +0900 from Hiroyuki
Yamamoto on the same subject.)

You could cheat a little and do:
'# 1) This line will wrap because I put a single quote in front of the
'#" sign but the meaning is still clear.
