  The problem is that 'word processor' techniques
are prevalent in email these days, even if the
email is plain text.   People just type and let
their local line wrap make it seem as if it's
formatted.
  The worst comes when someone with a line wrap
in their sending software wraps a quote that was
properly formatted by the original sender.
   There's nothing to do about advancing lowering
of standards and etiquette - it's just entropy.
