Exactly because quoted text comes out stupid when autowrapped by the receiver, ending with kludges like the one I'm using when writing emails with acme: #!/bin/sh fold -s -w 79 - | sed '/^>/ !s/^/>\ /g' echo '' Also a long line of code, if hard wrapped by whom is reading, generates stupidity when executed.
