Stop Gatekeeping Email

> 2019

> Still using plaintext

directly from /g/. As you noted it's at times inaccurate, uselessly snarky and it distorts logic to prove a point, like saying that since something is a standard it should be blindly accepted and you're a moron for not accepting that some clients can't send plain-text email (which is IMHO a problem with the client, not those asking for plain-text email).

The point about 72-characters wide email, on the contrary, is spot-on. I mean, I would hope that a client can wrap text correctly, regardless of the actual line width. Alas, many terminal emulator still don't do this, which may be considered "UNIX philosophy" (that is, if you need your text wrapped, pipe it through a wrapper first) but to me it's just annoying.
