I haven't looked into MailMate's handling of this. I think good practice 
is for a mail client to treat any lines wrapped by the user as 
hard-wrapped, not soft. That is, if a user just types text in a 
composition window and doesn't hit return, that text should be 
soft-wrapped per F=F when the message is transmitted. If a user hits 
return after some lines, those lines should be considered hard-wrapped 
when the message is transmitted. Probably pasted-in text should be 
treated the same way (soft-wrapped if it doesn't contain actual line 
ending characters, hard-wrapped if it does) but I'm less sure about 
that. What does MM do?
