To be fair, thats a problem with the way browsers render anything inside the <pre> tag. If anything, it is an example of what people should do, not force unnecessary restrictions on the way they write text. Lest you might end up with:

    > This is a short paragraph that I am quoting that 
    > someone
    > else sent to me.

Emacs has spoiled me. As soon as I saw your post, I felt a weird tingling urge to press M-q and fix it.

Indeed. We can fix all these systems... or stay at 72 columns.

Or door 3: Let bad software stay bad, use good software instead and format our text naturally. If somebody chooses to use software that can't wrap text, that's fine for them personally — but I shouldn't have to deal with their artificial limitations.
