Actually the RFC permits 1024 characters between lineends.

Many mailers will automagically wrap lines for you.  Some are even nice
enough to wrap at word boundrys.  The one I use (Mutt under unix) does
that for displaying, but not for printing.  I added some to Mutt's print
function to call a unix utility that will break at word boundrys for
printing.  For those mutt users, I have this in my .muttrc:

     set print_command="fold -s -w 79 | $HOME/bin/ansilpr -f"

Where ansilpr is a shell script that inserts the VT100 print escape
sequences ahead of the data and the off sequence after.
