As usual, you miss the by-far central point: (soft-)wrapping is not
the point; it's the knock-on adverse effect on legibility of subsequent
thread replies.

Where there's a will ... : it took less than 5 minutes to check your
message headers, cross-check w/ your sig, do _one_ simple web-search
('fastmail line-wrap', without the quotes), get the urls quoted earlier,
read what's what, and double-check it all.
If you had had proper regard for the requested b/lfs mailing lists
attitude, then you wouldn't have been still disregarding them and posting
anyhow: you would instead have found the solution way back in mid-2017 .
