Not that this belongs here, but:

1.  All good mail programs do auto-wrap
2.  Most people I know think it is a good convention
3.  It is convention, good or bad
4.  Adjusting your posted code to work with word wrapping is not too
difficult in Perl
5.  If you don't wrap, accept that some people will simply stop
corresponding with you

That is the way it is.  There is not much you can do about it.
