  So rather than fixing the broken wrapping behavior, they added
another feature fix to it up on the other end, and require you to
manually do something at both ends for it to work.  Sheesh.

  RFC-822 specifies no maximum line length, and RFC-821 specifies 1000
characters.  Internet messages (a|we)re conventionally wrapped at 80
columns as a courtesy to those using dumb terminals and Mail User
Agents which couldn't do proper line wrapping on their own, but it's
never been a protocol requirement.

  Those RFCs were published in 1982, too; this isn't a new thing.
Outlook 2007.  1982.  2007.

  See also RFC-3676, which provides for a way for modern MUAs to wrap
lines in outgoing messages in the way older systems expect, but which
modern MUAs can recognize and automatically de-wrap and re-flow for
the user's display, and which still permits unwrapped long lines for
things like URLs.
