Bug Description
NNTP has a maximum line length of 1000 chars. emails do
not have the same restriction.
Would it be possible for the script which posts emails
to the mailing list to autowrap all the emails at 1000
characters so that they would still be valid nntp
posts? Currently i'm getting a fair few error 441
returns from NNTP because some emails exceed the line
length limit.
It could wrap at the last space or hyphon before the
1000th character, or something similar.
Thanks.

Mailinglist manager should _not_, I repeat: _not_ change
autowrap or otherwise mangle messages that a SMTP server is
not allowed to do. This breaks signed mail and for the purists:
violates rfc2821.
