If you cut and past and get ugly line...try ^J(ustify).

Save the email to a file and "import" it to MS-Word.

UsE ThE PoWEr of WinDOs, DuDE! You're using the world's most advanced
OS, the most intuitive GUI, and *the* one powerful word processor. Of
course, Word can do emails, too. You need servicepack 7.9, patchlevel
2, codename "Challenger".

Otherwise, save the thing as plain ascii and import it into pine.

Do the words sed and tr mean anything to you? If not, just forget
it. You could try the yanky-yanky thing (that's ^J) but it's kinda
painful.

Ever considered attaching the document?

Depends on what you call "whole". If you mean including all headers,
you need to go into show headers mode before saving. Then you can
import the file into word. 

BTW, your signature is too long.
