If this works for you, then you're very lucky! I don't think this will
work for me.

I could tell the people asking me why my email looks funny that my mail
must be read in landscape orientation, but I think they will just make a
note to avoid asking me questions in future. I would like to avoid that.

If it was up to me I'd continue using tw=72, but sometimes a compromise
is necessary.
