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.
