Never mind.  It seems I'm talking out my ass again :-)

Just double checked my post above, ie the one I'm replying to, and the word 
wrapping is fine when I read 
it after it's posted.  It's obviously a soft wrap in the compose window is then 
wrapped properly for a 
standard usenet line length on posting.  It seems an odd behaviour.
