OK, I found an example of line wrap in the archives, and also confirmed
that there was no line wrap in the copy CCed to myself, so it appears to
be a listserver issue.  How about if I CC you or BCC you in the sends, so
that you get unadulterated copies bypassing the listserver?  That's a bit
of a kludge, but since you're the only one with commit access who isn't
more or less MIA...
