Word Wrapping

Word Wrapping

I enjoy this group a lot, but have only been reading it a little
while, so this topic may already be old for all of you, but it's
information I need.

I plan to publish an email newsletter soon combining text and ascii
art.  I know that this combination can frequently trigger the word
wrapping feature in many email readers and explode the ascii art.

Does anyone know how many characters popular email readers will
accommodate before they automatically wrap lines?  This info would be
very helpful in choosing appropriate sized art and setting up text
limits so that everything will line up properly in the greatest number
of email readers.

Also, does anyone know of any online resources for doing what I
describe here?

Les
