Personally, I feel that the problem is not with "encapsulating"
sources to prevent damage.

The problem is with the $$&@! inflexible operating systems and
gateways. By now, everyone should be able to do ascii. By now,
everyone's computer system should understand lines of 133 characters
or more.

Where the energy needs to be spent is getting these outdated systems
up to spec with the rest of the world. I say with all seriousness
"leave them behind". Then the vendors will get a clue and start fixing
things.

Whew, I feel better.
