https://www.fastmail.com/blog/format-flowed/Only a webmail provider can bitch about the complexity of text wrapping and then proceed to recommend HTML, which is even more complex to render and even more difficult to sanitize from malicious JavaScript. I guess life is much simpler if you can rely on browser developers to do the heavy lifting for you.
FWIW, you can use their service via IMAP and SMTP. Open source webmails also exist. Text wrapping is complex, and yes, life is much simpler relying on browsers doing the heavy lifting, maybe because it's so hard to do with non-browser libraries. JavaScript seems to be not allowed in most MUAs (as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_email_clients), notably exceptions include Thunderbird (TIL! Can be disabled via javascript.enabled in about:config) and Outlook Express (which I assume most of you wouldn't use). -- Sdrager, Blair Noctis
