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.
