Ad hominem comments are inappropriate on this list. The norms of mail are pretty clear, and it's an unfortunate situation that Microsoft and Apple mail clients are broken. IIRC Apple's Mail.App used to correctly implement format=flowed (so that the lines were a reasonable length, but the receiving MUA had permission to rewrap them), but it no longer seems to do that. In addition, your characterization of the view that mail should adhere to standards is completely off base; it seems to be the majority opinion here.
