That's one of the issues that format=flowed addresses. Of course, that only 
works if both ends support it, correctly.

Enable Quoted-printable or something?  It would be better to see:

explicitly stating the range limits being violated.

In days of yore such detail was hardly necessary.  The hardware
is more complicated nowadays.
