Thanks for the background! – I didn't know that.  Indeed KMail does
not support it.  I have just voted for that bug.

A quick Google search tells me, IIUC, that it has at least been
implemented in an Emacs-based mail client, and that _that_
implementation respects Emacs's filling behavior in that it
distinguishes hard newlines from the soft newlines that line filling
generates:

Not sure, however, if that is helpful when merely using Emacs as an
external editor for some other mail client.

Cheers,
