Hello Nicholas!

No.. there is no width limit in the "viewer".  The limits  
pertain to the "editor".

As soon as I would commence a reply to any full-width/free-flow  
message using the internal editor, the limits configured in  
OpenXP will take effect.

I like OpenXP's manual reflow feature. It helps to keep  
paragraphs neat and even for the end of each line.  But it  
would be nice to have the option to mark a paragraph and have  
it "free-flow" going out.  Instead, OpenXP always adds a <CR>  
at the end of each line set to the width that you specify up to  
the max allowed.
