[Ti] Why do URL's die when wrapped?

Why would a email client force a wrap at any particular place? Why 
would the client not just autowrap to the windows size? I've just 
checked Apple's Mail, Eudora, and Entourage. The only one that forces 
text to wrap at a particular line length is Entourage which wraps the 
text at 76 characters whether I like it or not.

Can I change this? Why does Entourage force this? It is looking like 
Entourage is causing the problems here. Is Flipper using Entourage? 
Is that why he has to insert spaces in his URLs? This certainly seems 
to be on a path to creating a problem rather than solving one. URLs 
do not have spaces in them an certainly some clients will bark at 
their existence.
