[ale] Line wrap in Mozilla versus shell based email

[Dow Hurst]

I just went and looked again in preferences for Mail and don't find a 
way to turn off html composition as the default.  It seems you will have 
to select plain text manually in the compose window each time in 
Mozilla. Now, I have designated long ago that ale is plain text only 
domain.  So, any email sent to ale is supposed to be sent as plain text, 
even if I included some html in the compose window.  I need to go read 
up on the mozilla site about hidden preferences for mail.
