[development] _drupal_wrap_mail_line()

[Dave Cohen]

Before drupal sends an email, the content of that email is wrapped to lines of no more than 77 chars.

I can't think of a single good reason to do this.  I wouldn't use an email client that did this, and I don't want my drupal to do it either.

It causes problems:

So what am I missing?  Can anyone tell me why this "feature" is in there?

Thanks,
