My advice is not to ever insert any hard breaks. That just makes things worse.
When one relies on software that properly handles format=flowed everything
should work beautifully. Thunderbird seems to support this very well. I assume
Outlook does as well.
I'll take the contrary position.
This ain't a word processor.
I learned long ago to insert line breaks where I want them -- it's the
big key to the right of the home row.
Allow me to restate. What I actually meant to say was not to insert any
GRATUITOUS hard breaks. Obviously, hard breaks between paragraphs is a good
idea. But, hard breaks in the middle of a paragraph become unreadable when
quoted.
I don't think so. As I mentioned earlier, I
insert lots of hard breaks. The key is to
keep lines short and roughly the same width.
I think the result is easier to read and
easier to reply to.
But, of course, YMMV.
