Isn't "flowed text" supposed to take care of that? (RFC 3676) I.E. take care of it for non-HTML messages. Of course, I suppose it requires the clients to implement it, and maybe most don't, but it is the intended solution to this problem. I generally use (al)pine, in which case HTML or non-HTML doesn't matter except for character set display issues; but when I read by mobile phone (sadly Outlook Mobile), the HTML can be annoying. Generally, though, I don't care.
