No. And even if you could set these, a lot of mail relays will chop them
at 72 or 72 characters. Then you end up with very odd looking emails anyhow. 

I think it's important for folks to understand that email is still run on
a lot of VERY old hardware and some of these systems took the RFC to
heart and had to have line breaks hard coded. Maybe in 10-20 years we'll
finally move away from the hard coded linebreaks, but I wouldn't hold my
breath.
