Many archives and sites display lines off the right margin instead of allowing
them to wrap as normal in HTML. Possibly using pre format style without

Nope. Wrong. David has been doing this for over 2 years:

So it is a user issue. The user must hard wrap because Cygwin site does not.

In other words, why do you think your argument is correct?  Format=flowed is
not a new thing<https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt> and it would be nice
if the archives site could display it correctly.  I can cooperate on this
with the maintainer(s) if they're interested.  Essentially, one line of CSS
should fix it, judging by my quick test.
