Hummm, that is weird. I do wrap the lines. I do them by hand yet the archives do not show them as wrapped. Something is weird here.
YOUR mails show as wrapped correctly:

However, Aaron Epps' MUA has "helpfully" unwrapped your mail for you ;-)
And oh BTW for the people who think html emails are good, guess again. html mail is not readable by all mua's
It should be, it has more features. Including that if you quote back in the right way in a reply, HTML paragraphs should never get unintentionally broken up like text paragraphs do, like:
blah blah foo blah
blah
foo fo fum fee fi
fum
which I find annoying.
is a security risk
Not if you turn off (external/all) images and Javascript.
and is a waste of bandwidth which matters if you have a metered account.
The amount of bandwidth wasted due to a few <html>, <p> and <i> tags should be miniscule. Much more bandwidth is wasted by not compressing mails, but I don't see the anti-HTML-mail people complaining about that. ;)
Could we split the formatting debate to a different thread please? The topic is OT from the original discussion and should fork.
Thank you.
