The format=flowed is benign.  It just tells the receiving MUA to wrap
text where appropriate.  The text line lengths are already correct.
The problem is that computer output *shouldn't* be wrapped, and that's
what your MUA is doing.  It may be a limitation of an MUA which
insists on reformatting for you.  If you find a way of fixing it,
please let me know and I'll add it to my pages at
http://www.lemis.com/email/email-format.html.

I'll answer the technical question separately.

Greg
