I don't know if there's even a strict rule or guideline that prescribes
to do so. Or is there something in FTSC conventions addressing this?
Because I recently asked about this "issue" in ru.golded and a few
people told me it wouldn't be a good idea to hard-wrap lines to a fixed
value, and there's no such option in GoldED's config either. I know
that Vim can do it (as I type this text) and this is what I thought
GoldED was capable of doing as well. However, it can only auto-wrap
text in view mode. If you can set up your news reader to do the same it
would solve the issue with extra-long lines.

Oh, you be too smart. :-) Snakes can also hang upside down, and some
monkeys, and possums too.
