Works as designed, actually; these boxes aren't supposed to wrap
automatically like news articles. One reason is that it's extremely painful
to enter an indented bullet list of URLs when the lines wrap automatically,
i.e.
* <big-long-URL-that-goes-out-past-80-characters>
With automatic line-wrapping, that comes out as:
*
<big-long-URL-that-goes-out-past-80-characters>
which, internally, depending on whether WRAP=PHYSICAL or WRAP=VIRTUAL is set,
is either incorrect or correct respectively but in both cases looks quite
wrong externally and becomes extremely frustrating.
