Not if you get *descent* mail client. Every mail client I've ever
used wraps the email for me if it is not done so already. You just
need to stop telling other people how to send emails and get a email
cleint that works.
Your mails seem to have very long lines because your client either
doesn't wrap at all or you have told it not to do so.
It is his email - he can send it however he pleases. If it bothers
you so much - fix your email cleint or get a new one. You've been
complaining about this for years now - get a new cleint.
it's common and polite practice to cut lines to a decent
length. Using 72 characters as a maximum line length (the default in
Thunderbird) allows proper quoting of replies even in OE up to quoting
level 4.
That's not true at all. It is decent and polite practice to fix your
own email reader to work and stop bugging other people about *your*
problem. The world isn't going to change for you. Every email client
I've ever touched - Outlook, Thunderbird, Netscape, Mozilla, Mail (for
OS X) all of them wrap text on *incoming* email. I suggest one of
those.

Two issues.
1 - If the mail sender restricts his mail to ~70 characters, it solves
the reader problem and fixes problems when replying to some messages.
2 - I do agree if it bothers you, then fix the reader. All readers I
have used have an option to automatically wrap lines on incoming messages.
To each their own.
