Er, well, sure.  The "should" is what the protocol specifies; clearly
newsreaders that don't support the protocol at all won't follow such
rules... :)

Certainly Alf's original complaint was phrased generally (though
against QP in particular, not against using MIME).  But he then later
explained that he was annoyed because thunderbird was showing the
paragraphs in the complained-about article as long unwrapped lines.
Of course, that has nothing to do with QP, but how the original sender
formatted his article (prior to it being encoded by his software).

Anyway, I'm not really even sure what the actual argument is
anymore....  [Nothing to do with C++, that's for sure!  :]
