I started to use email in 1994 when I entered my university. And at the time, one of the "netiquette" we should keep was that we should limit the line size upto 72 characters or so for "readability" when we write email. As far as I understand this number 72 comes from the typical terminal (e.g., VT100) size which is 80 x 25.
But I'm not sure if how this netiquette is still common, especially in the business field. I simply don't know very much about it.
I always want my mail easy to read, but I might be taken some mistake in the "modern" net common sense, or I may be out-dated.
