No, it is not the problem of output. It would be displayed correctly with
Mr Stockton and me otherwise.

Don't make rash assumptions.

If an article is posted with long lines, my system will by default wrap
them visually, at about column 90. But the margin is adjustable as I
read the article.

The prime need is for authors to post without the posting agent wrapping
the lines; that is sufficient for well-written newsreaders.

It's also courteous to have the lines not too long, so that they display
within the customary 80-line window with some white-space on the right,
even when quoted a few times.

ACK, I referred to the _raw_ display of the posted article (the message
source). Long lines will be word-wrapped in the display pane here, too;
a horizontal scrollbar appears if word-wrap is not possible.

Full ACK.
