    Lol, the hardcoded linebrakes, haven’t seen that for a while, what a glorious mess.

      That’s typical for plain-text email.

          Soft wrapping plain-text is surprisingly hard to get right. It’s better to just hard wrap your text when writing an email. Any half-decent text editor/mail client has a feature to automatically hard-wrap a paragraph for you for convenience.

      David might be using git’s send email, which he likely has set up to have a max line length of about 80, because that’s what the kernel developers require.
