The message cited did not have very long lines, at least the lines
showing the problem.

Mhonarc does not reflow plain text messages.  The exception is when
the message is tagged with format=flowed.  In this case, RFC 2646
semantics are followed during conversion (unless the disableflow option
is set).

The "reflowing" of non-flowed plain text messages is actually the
maxwidth enforcement.  By default, there is no maxwidth limit, but
mail-archive.com has enabled it for stylistic reasons.  In this case,
long lines are broken into multiple lines.  No paragraph reflowing is
actually done.
