You'd need to insert your own carriage returns (chr(13), that is) where you think it's appropriate. Set Memowidth to a value you find (default is 50 characters, may be what you want) and then experiment so that the lines you get are not too long for any of your situations.

To chop the string:
lParameters lcOld
set memowidth to {your value here}
lcNew=""
_mline=1
for i=1 to memlines(lcOld)
   lcNew=lcNew+mline(lcOld,1, _mline)+chr(13)
endfor
return lcNew
You may also want to save and restore the set("memowidth").
