That's the point.
If have an ASCII table that is 150 character columns wide, I'm sending you a screenshot so that you can scroll left and right, rather than have everything end up in a jumble of interleaved overflowing lines that turn into unreadable spaghetti.
This is a feature, not a bug. Not everyone is opening the message on a full-width monitor.
You can do the same with text. If your messaging client is lame and forces wrapping, copy and paste the text to a real text editor with left/right scroll and your font and color scheme and other preferences of choice.
When I send a message I want the recipient to be able to understand it immediately.
I don't want to make them have to jump through hoops to reformat the text in a different application. That's absurd.
