I use OL2002 and when I have a Plain text message I click on Format (menu) > UnWrap Text to clear/enable WordWrap.
Look for a similar option in OLE. Search in help for Word Wrap. Post back with success or failure resolving issue(s).

Dear Rjkrash..
The following is the only instructions given in Helps for "word wrap" or "text wrap"....it is ONLY for an OUTGOING soulution. I am talking about when I am wanting to PRINT an incoming letter and the body of text is only 4 inches wide and I would like to re-arrange the text to 7 inches, OR WHATEVER , to be more paper thrifty. Thank You, John Davis, Outlook Express 5 is my program.
Quote from OE5 Helps: "To set the line length in outgoing newsgroup messages
Outlook Express automatically sets the line length of messages using plain text format at 76 characters per line. This accommodates news servers that do not display more than 80 characters per line. When messages are quoted in a reply, the original text is usually marked and indented with an additional character. If your message is likely to be quoted after posting, set your text to wrap at 70 or 72 characters per line to prevent text from running beyond the edge of the window.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Send tab, in the News Sending Format section, select Plain Text, and then click the Plain Text Settings button.
In the text box for Automatically wrap text at x characters when sending, type the number of characters you want displayed per line. "
