For what it's worth, I don't put CRs except at the end of the paragraph when
I write messages, and it doesn't seem to go wrong anywhere (at least that I
know of). I think you should just use the two guidelines you put there at
the beginning, and don't worry about 80-column text. Only add CRs to the end
of the paragraphs, because otherwise I have to remove all of them by hand (I
can't simply say "replace CR by nothing" because then it would totally fuck
it all up)
