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. ;)
