Well Carlos-and-Tim, I think my situation is exactly an oposit. While I
have
240 columns, Alpine only puts 76 on a line while composing. In my setup
I have
79 but the help says 80 is max.

Hmmm, weird, I think my version of alpine doesn't understand 
Format="flowed" only format=flowed. No idea if it's the capital letter 
or the quotes but your email didn't wrap cleanly in alpine.

$ alpine -v
Alpine 2.26 (DEB 649 2022-06-02) built Tue Feb 25 08:44:48 UTC 2025 on debian

But if you're seeing messages wrapping at 76 characters when you reply 
then it does suggest that there's an option somewhere to set this but I 
cannot work out what it can be.
