I have set Word Wrap to 60. When I copy the file made in Text Pad to an autoresponder and then receive a test message, the text does not wrap at 60 characters but instead goes "border to border", the size of the open window for the email. How can I make it display only to 60 characters no matter what window it is opened up in?

Before you copy the text: "Edit | Split wrapped lines" (or Ctrl-Alt-J)

My e-mail client can't handle lines longer than 255 characters. So when I want to cut and paste from other sources, this gets to be an annoying problem.

So I made a macro. First I size my Textpad window to be about 60 or so characters wide, then the macro does the following:

1. Turn on word-wrap.
2. Select All.
3. Split Wrapped Lines.
4. Copy.

So my process is: Copy source, paste to TP window. Size window. Run macro. Paste in e-mail client.

Not perfect, but not too bad.

You could combine all of those steps into one hotkey macro with Macro Scheduler.
I use it every day with TextPad. Great combination.
