Greg,

What makes me think that Nabble has something to do with it is that messages sent from other mailing clients look normal.

For example you can take a look at the following thread: http://apache-ignite-developers.2346864.n4.nabble.com/Asynchronous-registration-of-binary-metadata-td43021.html

Wrapping is not applied to the first message, but it is for the ones that follow it. I guess, that they were sent from Nabble, which made them 80-character-wide.

I exported a few emails in a raw format from my email client. The ones, that I sent using an external client have Content-Type: text/plain

The ones, that were sent from Nabble have Content-Type: multipart/alternative

I started a thread on the Apache Ignite developers list to find the administrator, but he doesn’t want to reveal himself yet.

In the meantime I’d like to find a confirmation, that something like that can be caused by Nabble. 

Is there a way to make emails be wrapped before sending? 

I’ll just ask the admin to disable this feature, when we find one.

I confess that I had not found a message with that level of quoting and I agree that looks ugly to the point of becoming unreadable!

However, I reckon it is an inevitable consequence of subscribers top-posting over replies multiple times and a mail list that is set to render all messages in plain text and wrap at around 80 characters.

If you subscribed direct to the mail list rather than look at Nabble's archive you'd see the same 80 character limit and awkward wrapping.

It seems to me that you need to take this up with the maillist owners at
http://ignite.apache.org/community/resources.html#mail-lists
However, I suspect that the decision to have the developers list in plain text is deliberate, as it's often much easier to read code in a mono-pitched font. That will be less a priority on a user list and is perhaps why it does not have quite the same issue.
