If you send things formatted using HTML, then the "pagination" as you call it is determined by the receiving end - it's how HTML works, nothing you can do about it. If you send using plain text, and the format is set to "Normal", then Evo will insert line breaks to keep the line length below 78 (?or something?) characters. With the "Preformat" setting, Evo doesn't do any formatting itself and allows the user to do what they want. The message you sent had two parts, a plain text one and an HTML. The plain text one was formatted correctly, the HTML one had each paragraph as one long line of text - i.e. in HTML, what you see when you type is not necessarily how it is sent out, this is a consequence of sending HTML mail. Try sending your self a message and look at the source of the email (Ctrl-U).
