Why? What's wrong with 370 character lines? D'you mean some people
can only conveniently see the first 80 without scrolling backwards 
and forwards horizontally and getting hopelessly lost?  Why should 
anyone care about such users, surely they don't deserve email at all?  

Everyone knows that email is ONLY for people who have the exact
same email set-up and habits as "myself" (whoever the particular 
"myself" maybe)!
