Ok, thanks for all the responses.  Apparently there was some email warping. 
Either way, the reason this is a problem is because I am having to parse the 
dump to a ldif file with a perl script.  Is there anyway to prevent the word 
wrapping?  If not, I can do some extra work to reassemble the lines in perl, but 
I would prefer to avoid that if I can.  Thanks for the help.
