From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it? What email client can't do any kind of soft word-wrapping?
Soft wrapping plain-text is surprisingly hard to get right. It's better to just hard wrap your text when writing an email. Any half-decent text editor/mail client has a feature to automatically hard-wrap a paragraph for you for convenience.
