"No true Scotsman" fallacy.  (JFTR: KNode word-wraps the message at the pane 
edges.  One could argue as well that no sensible mail/news program would 
generate attribution novels that make for a two-line attribution, so yours 
would disqualify.  Neither argument would change the fact that the message 
is too wide as the decoded maximum line length is too high for proper 
reading *without* assistive technology.)

A posting agent should assist the user in posting messages with lines that 
are of appropriate length, indeed.  For example, KNode and several other 
programs can word-wrap text at a user-defined column (set to 76 here, which 
is the default) while typing.
