Occasionally I reply to emails frm people with "long" addresses. And these
get shortened to 80 characters becasue of the limitation of the reply
lead-in. I have a conventional leadin prototype of

Rather than the leadin being truncated I'd prefer for it to be wrapped. Is
that possible?

Not really, unless you hack the code. There is something that you can do,
however, which is using a template file when replying and including the
definition of the reply-leadin string in that file. The only problem that
you'll have will be that you will have two reply-leadin in the same
message, one of them that you'll have to delete, I do not recall if the
reply leadin that you'll generate will be wrapped or not, you may have to
that manually, by pressing ^J.
