This recipe SHOULD fit in an eighty-character fixed-width line, for all our terminal-based or fixed-width font mail client users.
While I appreciate the intention, (1) this arrived in my mailbox with the final parts of many lines already wrapped a bit before the 80th column, (2) even if it didn't, my mail reader also wraps incoming mail slightly before the width of the terminal window. (Also it is set to a default of 74th column on outgoing mail, although there's something about "flowing" involved too.)
Recently I seem to be toggling my putty window between full screen and width 80, depending on what makes an email message look best / least awful.
