  That makes it break the common long URIs for a particular
product or article.  It also wraps a reply, causing alternate
long lines with a word or two on the next line when the original
has been formatted correctly with linefeeds embedded.
  I haven't read RFC2822 in over six years at least: I'm
pretty sure it doesn't recommend setting automatic line wrap on
an editor, at least for the reasons I mentioned above. I remember
that it sets a limit on how long a line should be - under manual
control using the "return" key every so often.
