i apologise for using a non-free email service to interact with debian. as penance i will send this response from emacs using gmane (oh, that;s also non-free software. never mind. feel free to ignore this) i dont understand which "working workflows" would need to be broken? someone could, for example, make the bts support \ to continue a line, that would benefit everyone without breaking anything? i believe i read (sorry again: i used an android phone and accessed a website that wasnt released as free software to find this information) that gmail breaks lines because some RFC recommends lines should be less than some length, and other free software rejcets long lines (doesnt debian's default exim config do this as well?)
