Why should line length be limited at all?  Your reader should
    automatically split the lines at the right hand margin of your screen,
    and automatically format each paragraph for you.  This allows those of
    us with 80 char tubes to be able to see the information formatted
    correctly along with those that have 132+ column displays.

Gee, my reader assumes that the AUTHOR of a message might have had
some opinions on how it should have been formatting.  The whole idea
that the reader should control formatting was/is a very HTML-ish thing
(and one that seems to have been quite a failure, in general), but
whoever carried that over to (non-HTML) EMAIL was out of their mind.
