Actually Apple Mail.app sends format=flowed wrapped to 73 characters. So a wrapped line has a single space character right before each 'wrapping' newline. If your mail client supports format=flowed viewing and sends without format=flowed (like AKPM's mailer appears to), then it will properly unwrap the lines and resend without the wrapping. Mailers which *DONT* support format=flowed will see the wrapped version. Normally this is what you want but it's a PITA for patches and logfiles. I believe with Mail.app if you attach a .txt file it will be unmangled and sent as "Content-Type: text/plain" and "Content- Disposition: inline", so most email-clients will display it as part of the message.
