What's common practice? What's it on the pgsql mailing lists?
The netiquette usually advise mailers to wrap after 72 characters
on mailing lists.
This does not apply for format=flowed I guess (that's the format
used in Steinar's message).
It would apply to either; format=flowed can be wrapped at the receiver's
end, but still be formatted to a particular column for readers that
don't understand format=flowed. (Which is likely to be many, since
that's a standard that never really took off.) No wrap netiquette
applies to formatted text blocks which are unreadable if wrapped (such
as bonnie or EXPLAIN output).
