RFC2822 (which obsoletes the old RFC822) states in section 2.2.1: 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. Wrapping lines at less than 80 characters is the standard accepted way of sending text email. It's the least common denominator that's guaranteed to work everywhere. It's just like HTML email - can I read it? Yes. Do I want it in my inbox? Heck no. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
