   No,  they  need  wrapping  in the client software,   
   which becomes quite complicated with  the  various   
   quotation  prefixes.  This is why the task of for-   
   matting  is  properly  given  to  the  text   edi-   
   tor -- the   program  specialising  in  formatting   
   text, whereas the client should  display  articles   
   as-is.  My Groff may be using hyphenation and spe-   
   cial word-breaking rules to produce  an  aestheti-   
   cally pleasing text not meant to be rewrapped.
