Please, everyone, read RFC2822, particularly section 2.1.1.
You got your RFC wrong. ;) It should be RFC1855, section 2.1.1.
That's the section on email etiquette, and it says:
"Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you receive."
Clearly sending >78 char lines isn't being conservative in what you
send. And starting a flamewar over receiving them isn't being liberal
in what you receive. IMO, both sides of this flamefest are acting
contrary to the RFC. A reasonable solution for both sides of the
argument (flowed text) has already been presented.
And then *please* shut up on this subject. People are trying to work.
