I reviewed the draft draft-ietf-dmm-4283mnids-04 for Gen-Art.  I used
the review tool to upload the review (a text file).

Today, I'm answering the author's response to the review.  I notice that
his mail program has wrapped some of the lines in the review in
inconvenient places, making them hard to read.

However, due to an ambiguity, I went back to the original review to
check something.  Or rather, I went back to the copy that had been sent
out on the gen-art mailing list.  And what do I see, but that for some
unbelievable reason, the upload process has *broken some of the lines*,
despite that the only one over 80 characters is the one containing a URL
for the IETF mail archive.

What gives here?  I don't want to express what I'm truly feeling, but I
do find the mutilation of my review to be quite counterproductive to
communication and I'd like to know how to stop it.
