To fully understand my example, make sure that your window is narrow
enough such the the first line in the example actually wraps. If your
window is too wide, it will not wrap. If it is too narrow, then the
reply will show wrapping where it shouldn't be. So, have your window
such that the words "long enough" appear on the first line and "and
appears" starts the wrapped line. That will be the clearest way to view
this.
