Then your mailer isn't RFC-compliant... From 2822:

   There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
   characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
   998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
   the CRLF.

Yes, that's a SHOULD instead of a MUST for 78 characters, but ignoring =
SHOULD's is still a bad thing.
