And yours was an example of it! :-) Intentional? Normally when replying
I let my editor fix it, but I let it stand this time to indicate it. One
rule of thumb is "74 columns". It gives you ample space for a couple of
layers of quoting before you reach the customary maximum 80. The ruler
below an indication of how far this is.

Nope, hers was fine. Yours was a bit long, but not to much. How to fix
it varies with the program one uses, but setting it to "wrap lines" (or
not wrap lines; standards are wonderful, everyone should have one of
their own), and making sure that the window is not too wide, will do the
trick in many cases.
