From my POV, when someone uses one of those MUAs that think a
paragraph and a line are the same thing, that person's emails make
more work for me, and I find the person annoying.
"More work" means, for example, that if I try to quote such a
"paragraph", and I touch it at all, emacs re-wraps it without
inserting the necessary additional quotation brokets and I have to add
them by hand. There's probably a way to fix that, but I can't be
bothered to rotate, I mean, adjust it.
Sounds like you have auto-fill-mode on. You might want to turn that off
for those long-line messages.
Or, you could make Emacs fill those quotes correctly by using the
command C-x . (set-fill-prefix).
You might want to read the manual section about filling text, and not
only for those long-line messages. Emacs only semi-automates filling
text, which I think is kind of clunky, but it has uses.
