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.

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
$ file 38953 38953: SMTP mail, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
nothing about wrapping conventions.
Well, there are. Depends on the client.
then why are not the rest of the lines wrapped? header does contain "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed" and aiui, format=flowed makes text fit the display screen with ?smart? wrapping so if the display screen is wider than the "wrapped" lines, why are they still wrapped and why only part of the post? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
