Do not always blame the MUA, because actually, the MTAs may do anything 
with the mail text. That's (among other reasons) why things like MIME 
attachments were invented, because they (their respective uuencoded or 
base64encoded "text") can be wrapped but does not change the 
decoded form.  - Something like that is in the pine doc.
