Try the '-w' command line option.  See the man page for other options 
that may be of use...

What utility are you using to post?  I haven't had any problem
using plain "pico" or "pico -t" to post from nn - I just did some
experiments on articles with long header lines.  I'm using
Pico 2.1 which I think is the latest.

Thanks,
Nancy
