72 characters goes back to the days of 80 character crts and allows
some quote characters before things get mucked up. I suspect the
moderation software (or something on that system) is chopping the lines
up to a hard 73 characters and not even attempting to find white space.

My word wrap here is set to 72 characters but my window is larger at 85
characters so the last word on my first line is 'quote' and the last
word on the first line of this paragraph is 'so'.

Your previous post (the one I am replying to) was chopped up also as it
still has the word wrap at 76 characters.
