Get a reader that wraps long lines, don't expect the world to conform to
your reader's needs.

It's considered good, basic netiquette to use 70-75 character lines.
Don't expect anyone to take the effort to read your messages if you cannot
be bothered to format them. If you wish to be heard and understood, it is
your responsibility to make your communication clear and easy to read. If
you don't care, then don't bother to e-mail - obviously what you have to
say isn't even important to you.

The world is changing, paragraph breaks are replacing line breaks.
Proportional font readers allow more screen density, when fed by
paragraph breaks, rather than line breaks, and are therefore more
efficent "netiquette" changes with the times. If you cannot adapt,
don't whine.
My reader(s) can read both styles, without hassle.
Anyway, I've said my peace. Do as you wish, as will I.
