Re: "Plain text email - To wrap or not wrap?"

In: s/minimalism

That is one long RFC to address something that looks simple at first sight. I guess nothing is really that simple when you dig deep enough. Too bad that it requires a sort of agreement between the parties, the sender must include the parameter and the recipient has to support it.

Plain text email - To wrap or not wrap? — I found Drew DeVault's guide on plain text email a while ago but I was never convinced on the "Wrapping your text" recommendation. Why force a width limit on readers of your email that will end up looking like this if they, by any chance, have an even smaller window or bigger font? Why not leave it to the viewer software?
