Email is supposed to be wrapped at the sending side for maximum=20
compatibility anyway. ISTR some issues with very old systems (probably not=
=20
around anymore) that couldn't have more than 127 characters on one physical=
=20
line. So, if non-wrapped mail was sent through them everything after the=20
127th character on each line was simply dropped.
That is one of the reasons email headers (among other things) can be broken=
=20
into multiple physical lines using the backslash+newline combination.
