Just be a bit patient ;) [Now that the disk problems have been recovered from, hopefully, resending this] Please see referenced links to messages using standard "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed", and preceding messages in these threads. Could you please consider adding "white-space: pre-wrap;" or equivalent in to the style string in the email body HTML 
 tags or mailing list
CSS, perhaps only when email has Content-type: ...format=flowed..., to ensure
that white space is preserved but long lines are wrapped in the window, to allow
reading without long horizontal scrolls, which make posts hard to read.

This may also assist mobile users read without zooming and scrolling or trying
to read tiny fonts.
