Hello Wes. If your are using TextWrangler which is free, you can actually set the carachter margin, and use "hard linebreaks" to ensure the that the length of the line isn't over 65 characters. So I suggest you compose your mail in TextWrangler and mail yourself the result, and inspect it by dumping the same message into TextWrangler again.
