One consolation is that browsers typically display <p> sections as a single unbroken line. If your example was from the Wikipedia page on Lorem Ipsum, for example, your selection would paste characterwise as before. With regards to email in your mail client, I suspect that most people receive email that is not politely hard-wrapped at 72 characters, and possibly the response therein is even top-posted for convenience. If this does not describe your mail, then I am quite jealous. Also, the fact that i_Ctrl-r always pastes characterwise is a very nice workaround (thank you Ben Schmidt - I think I will set up those mappings right now); you would have to explicitly type "*p or "+p to paste from the X clipboard anyhow (unless clipboard=unnamed or unnamedplus).
