I have no idea why that is. It looks fine in 80 x 24.
See my previous post, it explains that your post contains "soft"
returns, which are optional for the client to render or not. It is in
fact a "0d 0a", but it is the "context" which makes it soft. It is
the best I can describe, I don't know what that context is exactly.
Reference to whichever email standard you think is appropriate please.
It was explained to me in an NNTP thread where I participated. maybe I
can locate it later.

I think the explanation is here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plain_text_e-mail_-_Thunderbird
6 Advanced
6.1 Flowed format
+++................
Flowed format
By default, support for flowed plain-text format is enabled. Incoming
messages with the "format=flowed" attribute set are rewrapped to utilize
the full width of the message window. Outgoing messages are still
wrapped regularly, but the receiving e-mail client is allowed to rewrap
the message for display. There are separate preferences to disable
flowed message display (mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support)
and sending flowed e-mails (mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed). You can use
mailnews.wraplength to change the line length for messages you compose
(defaults to 72 characters), mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width to wrap
to the window width when composing a message (defaults to false) and
mail.wrap_long_lines to control the wrapping of long lines (defaults to
true).
Most webmail implementations, Outlook, Evolution, and Mac OS X Mail
don't support it. Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, PostBox, Eudora, Pine, M2
(Opera mail program) and LuxSci webmail do. It is a interesting standard
that just didn't catch on.
When replying in plain text, quotes may appear as a single line per
paragraph (see this forum thread). Use Edit -> Rewrap to restore
wrapping for those quotes.
Flowed text can cause problems with OpenPGP signatures. [1] [2] . The
Enigmail add-on automatically replaces ">" in quoted messages with "|"
and leading spaces with "~" to workaround this unless you set
mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed false. There are also potential problems
sending and saving patches [3] [4] if you use Enigmail. If you do not
use "gpg --clearsign --not-dash-escaped ..." to disable dash-escaping
all lines beginning with a dash are prefixed by a dash and a space. This
is the reason you might notice an extra space and dash on any signature.
[5].
Flowed text doesn't apparently cause problems with S/MIME (the built-in
support for digital signatures and encrypted messages in Thunderbird).

I see wrapped lines too, in the source as well as the display and

nothing about wrapping conventions.
Well, there are. Depends on the client.
