You could complain to Apple, but it seems unlikely that they'd change it. They 
broke it intentionally in OSX 10.6.2 for better compatibility with MS Outlook.

(for the technically inclined: It still wraps lines at 80 characters in the raw 
message, but it uses quoted-printable encoding to escape the line-breaks, so 
mail readers which decode quoted-printable but can't flow text are now S.O.L. 
Apple used to use the nice format=flowed standard instead.)
