This does happen, but I beg to point out that it happens *both* ways. From my POV, when someone uses one of those MUAs that think a paragraph and a line are the same thing, that person's emails make more work for me, and I find the person annoying. "More work" means, for example, that if I try to quote such a "paragraph", and I touch it at all, emacs re-wraps it without inserting the necessary additional quotation brokets and I have to add them by hand. There's probably a way to fix that, but I can't be bothered to rotate, I mean, adjust it. So this sword really does cut both ways. -- Mark H.
