Stupid solution: allow wrapping only at whitespaces (don't remember the 
rfc, but uri's must not contain them). This removes some flexibility, 
though.

I have no idea if and how you can isolate (in the sense of word 
separators) the "wrap candidates". If so, you could use the stuff from 
libbalsa/misc.c to check for an uri. To speed it up, you should use 
something like the dumb prescanner defined there instead of simply using 
pcre. When I wrote that code for balsa1, I remember that on my old 166 MHz 
Mac this was ~10 times faster, YMMV. Just my ¤ 0.01...

I hope the patch can make its way into the cvs soon, even if balsa can 
wrap uri's correctly ;-)). Or I'll have to invent shorter file names...

Cheers, Albrecht.
