That email was sent in both HTML and plain text formats; the lines were not
wrapped in the HTML format, but they were in the text one.

To display the text format in Thunderbird, select the menu

View -> Message Body As -> Plain Text.

Beware, it's a global setting, and it will disable HTML in all messages
that also include content in text format.

A style guide is about consistency. Consistency with this style guide is
important. Consistency within a project is more important. Consistency
within one module or function is most important. But most importantly:
know when to be inconsistent - sometimes the style guide just doesn't
apply. -- Guido Van Rossum, Barry Warsaw, July 2001
