That makes me curious.  He used "quoted-printable".  (He also used a
multipart message with HTML as one of the parts, but that's irrelevant
here).  Can PINE not handle that?  How do other list users feel about
using "quoted-printable"?  The idea is that the readers will wrap the
lines to their liking.  (Along with some different handling of 8-bit
characters).  If your reader does not handle it, or you don't have it
set properly, the message will indeed look like a big long line.
