I don't agree with your wish to see all messages cut down to
80 col's. I might want to use the message network to send a
document that is to be output on a lineprinter (or a 132-wide
screen), I do not want the transporting network to intervene.

The funtion of re-formatting a document should be a user-level
application level feature, I might use different output medias
from time to time.
