I’m wondering if word wrapping should be applied in text emails? And what about HTML emails? If so, what character would you normally wrap at?

RFC 2646 says:
Another popular standard is to wrap at 72 characters. This dates back to many console applications (like EDIT and many BBS interfaces) that displayed text within an ASCII ‘window’ including a border and scrollbar, allowing slightly less than 80 characters to be displayed.
