No and yes. :) 

_Sometimes_ extra breaks will be added in the transfer process.

PowerMail adds breaks to outgoing. It does not add breaks to incoming.
But nothing prevents mail servers/relays from adding breaks. Apparently
not all do as I've received some plain text messages that have lines
longer than 78 characters. I guess they just used the right relays.
