The last version of Pico that I used came with Pine 3.96.  The new version
with Pine 4.00 is improved, even more improved than the FAQ indicates. The
last version of Pico would wrap lines that were more than 255 characters
long, even when wrap was turned of (using the -w command-line argument).
The FAQ at 

http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes/3.96-to-4.00.html

states that moving from 3.96 to 4.00...

 "Pico 255 character line length limit: wrap instead of truncate"

Actually, I just turned off wrap and brought in a line that was thousands
of characters long, and Pico didn't wrap it at 255, it kept the full long
line intact.

Hallelujah!

Mike
