<ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2646.txt>.  Already supported by Gnus and
Eudora at the least; I'm not sure how widespread it's gotten.  I used to
think it was a horrible idea; since then, while I still think it's an
amazingly ugly hack in some respects, I've been convinced that it's not a
bad solution to the problem.

It lets one send <80 column lines and have other MUAs still know when to
rewrap the text and when not to.  I haven't started sending it by default
yet, but I'm getting tempted to do so.
