I think that this is a great idea and agree with (almost all of) your points. > - *Line break of e-mails* Should be around 72 characters. Nobody > will kill you if it is 70 or 74 or even 76.

I really don't like static word wrapping, as much as I don't like static width web pages. I read emails on a variety of devices and window sizes, and the presumption that ~72 characters is appropriate for wherever I'm reading it seems rather arbitrary. A good client should have dynamic word wrapping IMO.
