Given the profusion of potential devices for reading email and their differing sizes, I have found that unfilled paragraphs are best in general although I do fill for posts to mailing lists like this one and newsgroups as that is the convention (arguably). However, if there is formatting that you wish to preserve (lists, equations [which often is the case for my emails to my research group, say]), the only real option (as much as I dislike it) is to use HTML. I write my email using org syntax and then invoke M-x org-mime-htmlize RET just before sending. -- : Eric S Fraga, with org release_9.6.23-1320-g1be2f9 in Emacs 30.0.50
