This may be a religious question, but here goes. 

I tend to write my emails and other documents with a target line
length approaching but less than 68 characters - I trained in an
era of 80 column terminals, and multiple-quoted emails with ">>>>>"
in front of the lines become much harder to read when they wrap. 

I usually read emails in 80 column windows, though sometimes I use
a full screen window 170 characters wide, even 250 characters wide
with tiny fonts when I am looking at log files.  An email without
line breaks is very difficult to read 250 characters wide!

So, what do you folks find easiest to read, and what is your 
tolerance range?  I expect some will respond like "all lines MUST
be exactly 72 characters, use a thesaurus to find words with the
correct spacing" or "my enter key is broken so it is all one line."
Such responses will be weighted appropriately.
