I'm not sure I quite follow this.  Does this extend the field to the right, or
would it wrap the text after N number of characters?  If the latter, 
that would
be exactly what I want.  If a message has lots of addresses, its ok to have to
scroll to get to the actual Text field for typing in a message.  But if you
mean that it would extend to the right, then yes, you'd run out of space again
in rather short order.

I just think its far from ideal having a fixed width form field that 
will accept
hundreds or thousands of characters, but only display 55.
