Just shipped a small but overdue fix to n2usenet.

Until now, messages composed through the web form were sent exactly as
typed, with no reflow. Fine on a modern wide screen, but it ignores the
old Usenet convention (RFC 1855, Netiquette Guidelines) of wrapping
plain-text body lines at roughly 65-70 columns, for compatibility with
classic terminal-based newsreaders (slrn, tin, trn, and similar). It was
overdue, so today I fixed it.

The change lives entirely client-side, in a new wrapUsenetText()
function that runs in the browser right before the message is signed:

- Greedy word-wrap at 72 columns.
- Blank lines and lines already starting with '>' (quotes) are left
untouched.
- It runs *before* the Ed25519 signature is computed, not after, so the
signature covers exactly the wrapped bytes that end up posted to the
group. Wrapping server-side, after verification, would have silently
broken signature checks for anyone verifying it against the posted
body.

Ok?
