Incidentally, the suggestion is good as illegible on a
usual-to-read-longer-text-sized webbrowser on the mailing
list archive (and it would be almost as illegible on the
usual slightly wider-sized work xterm due to its insanely
wide line length, which has been proven to be bad for the
reader).

eMail is bigger than Debian. Stick to the standard and
wrap at 72 (except sigs which are 4×78) unless needed
(e.g. for inline patches, long URLs, etc).
