Subject: [PICO] Going beyond column 72

I need to type lines longer than 72 columns but somehow PICO/PINE keeps
wrapping the lines after, say, 72 columns. Is there anyway to turn off
that feature of auto-wrapping? Or is there anyway to set the right margin
beyond 72 columns?
 
The reason I need to go beyond 72 columns is that I'm sending commands to
a listserver which somehow does not recognize the usual continuation
characters &. At the moment, I use VI to prepare the files and then send
them off either by ELM or MAIL. Othertimes, I use PINE to read my usual
mails. A little bit cumbersome!
