A part of my original message that you snipped was a link to a section of my site that gives information on how to configure various mail programs to follow the standards better.
Rather than click there I will most assuredly take your word for it.
My point is that since everything on the mailing list goes through the lists.wikimedia.org server, before going to subscribers' inboxes or to the "/pipermail/" web archive directory, it would be much more efficient to convert it, 79-odd bytes at a time at that stage, to a RFC 2822-compliant feng shui (and no human would have to read the original non-line-broken versions), than to individually coax users and their mail clients into conformity.
