In the general case, no -- each mail client implements its own rules.

That said, if you keep your lines short enough (64 characters wide
should be short enough, 70 might be short enough), no mail client
should wrap the lines.

The problem, here, is that discovering line width often means
using some editor other than the one provided by the mail
client.

Another possibility involves wrapping the logical line in something
that would recover from extraneous line breaks.  For example:

".0 :0-.LF
LINE GOES HERE
)

However, this is bulky and distracting.

Another possibility involves creating a "J line-end indicator"
which would allow a script approach that ignores the email
introduced line ends.  To my knowledge no one has ever
bothered with such a thing.

There may be other possibilities.
