> The wetware component enforcing some line length - some old maintainer stuck in his ways
You need to be more specific about what you're referring to when you bring something up. I already stated that email clients can be set to use longer line lengths. Are you aware that the default line length for hard-wrapped emails is 72 characters, not 80? It shouldn't take 4 posts for you to be specific enough for one to get what you're referring to and then basically ignoring the point I already brought up pertaining to that issue.
> You're incorrect, it's a problem on wider screens as well
Given the level of nesting in this sub-thread, the large amount of blank screen space to the left of the post is not posing any issues in terms of readability. I'd rather avoid "embarrasing line wrap" due to hard wrapped lines that are too long for the display. Also, the format=flowed option has solved this issue.
> Again, that's an issue caused by non-HTML e-mail
I assume you're aware of the problems caused by HTML email where people end up getting phished because of the anchor element with the hfref property set to make the link look like a legitimate website like their bank? Email should be plain text only. Leave the HTML to the web browsers.
> That's not the issue, your network's QoS is bad.
If the QOS was bad, then email and IRC would not work. They still do on the slow downstream and upsstream connection. And even if your claim of QoS was true, that doesn't explain why I experience the same issue on my mobile with a GPRS connection.
