The settings there hint at various things that can be done for handling line
length, wrapping, quoting, <CRs>  etc.

Personally, I liked the way Compuserve handled quoting.  It placed one
start-quote tag at the beginning of a paragraph, and then an end-quote tag at
the end.   Example:

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu
 fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in

Simple, and it can wrap or unwrap to suit the system reading the message.
