I much prefer the existing way, and let my mail reader do the line 
breaks.  That way, if I'm reading the mail in a small window, it's still 
readable. And, there's nothing worse than trying to read something 
formatted with, e.g., 72 character lines in a 50 character wide window 
(particularly if it's something that has been "quoted" so the previous 72 
character lines are now 73 or 74, so every single line wraps.  Having the 
text only break at paragraphs also makes cutting and pasting easier.

Most mail readers will automatically wrap received mail.
