James, I've repeated your following paragraph twice.
Do they appear the same to you on your end?

Those lines are not hard wrapped.  For unknown reasons, they have two
spaces at the end of the line prior to the carriage returns (ASCII CR LF).
Some newsreaders will automatically wrap or adjust them to the viewing
window.  Some newsreaders will only wrap them for the initial text and
not replied to text, etc.

E.g., here, a large viewing window will wrap the line first inbetween
"long lines", while a small viewing window will wrap the line first
inbetween "Google Groups".

These lines are hard wrapped by me.  The two spaces have been deleted
and they now have only carriage returns at the end, because I hit
"return" on the keyboard at that point.

I.e., both a large and small viewing window will first wrap the line
first at "Google Groups", always.
