Yeah - big PITA. Groupwise's handling of internet email is hideous.

That's why I'm testing Sylpheed against the Groupwise server. Imap and
smtp - seems to work ok. I am now getting line wrap along with quoting.
You'd think something as basic as that would be standard. Go figure . . .  
Now if I can just find the spell checker in Sylpheed 0.9.10.
