Hate to get into a religious war here, but there is a hard, factual
standard here. RFC2646 which defines the MIME type text/plain format
parameter. If you are reading a message with content type text/plain and
format set to "flowed", and a non-quoted line of words appears that is
too long (for various values of "too long", mostly between 60 and 80
characters or wider than your screen) then the problem is with the
reader you are using. Period. I note that the message above with the
1500 character line of text is content type text/plain with format flowed.

I'm not sure that I'm getting your point here. 90% PLUS of text posted
here can be rendered as readable text with little or nothing required of
the reader other than the ability to read English text.
I'm using a Personal Computer to emulate a DEC "VT-100" terminal. If
necessary I could plug in a DEC/Compaq/HP VT-320 Terminal. I find it
easier to use an emulation by my PC. It works and has worked for the
last twenty years plus or minus . . . .
