Rob, it's interesting that you bring this up because I've never liked to chop my emails. For the same reasons that if feels commercial and not at all personal. I've never been able to like doing it at all. What I do now however, is that I've created a template where my emails are around 700 pixels wide. So they are not quite chopped, but they are not full width. The reason I do that is because full width emails tend to look like a wall of text to some people and then I lose them because they seem to feel overwhelmed by the wide text. Whereas the more narrow column keeps their eyes focused and moving down the page, but just in a more customized way than the standard 55 char email.
