	   The line of text ran out the window, and I was unable to read
   anything that wasn't on the screen.  Another line of text appeared
   where returns had been hit in the original message.  The cursor would
   go into the "unseen" region, but no scrolling of any sort occured.

This is allegedly the "correct" behavior in the new xmh.  If you want
it to automatically wrap lines that are longer than 80 columns, then
you need to put the following in your .Xresources file:

    xmh*view.wrap: word
