OpenXP automatically wraps a line while typing, so a hard CR is not required. But when I force a re-flow for a paragraph I can see the clues from OpenXP that it adds hard CRs at the end of a line. I wanted to see if non-reflowed paragraphs (and hence no CRs) would remain consistent when the message is viewed with Telegram. 

Apparenty, it looks like OpenXP has soft returns or something because my test message was not a true free-flow format. The line lengths of the message were exactly the same in Thunderbird, and here.

I am not sure what are meaning regarding your screensize. Do mean font size instead?
