Once webkit 2 released, they may add a feature that split lines at 80 characters in their MUA :)

Or, the mailing list archive software could just render it reasonably like good MUAs do.

s/Or/And/

Given that email doesn't have markup, this opens up the possibility that formatted text will be ruined by the MUA.

80 characters wouldn't make sense: most people view text in variable width fonts, which are generally considered easy to read.

A better idea would be to contain the text in something.
