A few of you are sending messages to this list with malformed lines 
that break the RFC 2822 guidelines of avoiding lines longer than 78 
characters.  This is particularly noticeable when browsing the list 
archives on the Web, where the lines go way out to the right and are 
very difficult to read.

Some examples:
