Messages with without carriage returns scroll across the page

[Howard Cohl]

I am a user of GNU Mailman at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

If you write emails to a list that I subscribe to with no carriage returns in them, then for instance in the list by thread, the message is unreadable because it scrolls off the edge of the screen. Modern email readers automatically insert carriage returns in the mail reader so that they are readable.

I wonder if something can be done about this, or should we discourage people from writing messages to our list without using carriage returns. (I think that might be a little difficult).

Shouldn't it be easy to solve this problem? i.e., shouldn't it take a minimal amount of code?
