D'OH! I Stand corrected! Many assumptions made. 24x80 text window
or thereabouts, for one.
Though I admit in this *particular* instance, I have little
*practical* sympathy; the example jpeg you made is an
intentionally narrowed bit-mapped GUI window for most pessimum.
But I get your point. I retract my broad claim, but I'll assert
that your lines >> 80 are more generally pessimum for "most" users
(even). A long line may wrap iff you have end-of-line wrap on
(your possible assumption :-) but it will not retain ">" quote
context. My "well wrapped" para, displayed on a palmtop, will look
like poopoo.
Anyways, we're butting up against the edges of what ASCII can do.
