It sounds to me like XEmacs isn't aware that the mail message to be composed
should be in text mode, and opened the file in fundamental mode. Then you
entered your text, it didn't auto fill, and when you turned on auto-fill
mode the entered text wasn't refilled. What does f1 v major-mode RET give
you in the newly created gnuclient frame?
