Unfortunately not.  The issue with the wrapping has to do with flowed 
format and multibyte-characters that was fixed in HEAD and not 
backported for some reason (I can't remember why... i think it could be 
backported but it would muck with the way 4.0.x sends messages).

This is bad.  You are breaking RFCs by doing this so this is not a 
viable solution, IMHO (RFCs say lines SHOULD be less than 78 characters 
+ CRLF and MUST NOT be longer than 998 characters + CRLF.)  It is quite 
possible that some mail server is going to chop your messages if you 
continue to use this solution.
