Lately, a lot of people have been posting messages here that are
malformatted, with long lines stretching out indefinitely. You can
see this when you look at the web archive, where you sometimes have
to scroll a mile to the right to see all of the message. This is
contrary to the standards of RFC 2822, which recommend that there be
a hard break after lines of no more than 79 characters.
