The purpose of this email is to propose that the expectation that emails should be wrapped at 80 characters when they are sent should be dropped.
Wholeheartedly agree. Forced line wrapping is archaic, and not just in emails. Any viewer or editor worth anything can display long lines in a way that flows and indents with surroundings.
format=flowed would be neat, if it was widely implemented. It is not. And, we shouldn't require specific software to use the mailing lists.
