        Is it? What email client can’t do any kind of soft word-wrapping?

          Soft wrapping plain-text is surprisingly hard to get right. It’s better to just hard wrap your text when writing an email. Any half-decent text editor/mail client has a feature to automatically hard-wrap a paragraph for you for convenience.
