I think it is generally desirable to keep line length below 80 chars. It
is advisable to keep a margin for quotations in initial postings (e.g.
only use 72 chars) and news-/mail-aware editors offer the option to
reformat paragraphs of quoted lines that are at the same level, for use
when an exceptionally high number of quotation levels is reached.

Of course, slrn allows to post longer lines in the rare case where
reformating is not an option and even allows you to suppress the
respective warnings if you don't like them (reject_long_lines).
