The OP asked how to turn off line breaks, I told them how to turn off
line breaks.

That's not true. Look at the screen shot and what the OP was saying -
there are two apparent line breaks, this is his original:

"on phones because the character width is <71, meaning that the line if
first broken by the phone's screen/program and then broken at 71
characters."

So no, it isn't presented as one long line, and using preformattted
*will* do what he wants.  It'll be a pain to compose though, because
the Evolution composer won't split the lines!

What *does* appear as one long line is using "Preformatted" in an HTML
email - this creates text surrounded by <pre> </pre> and is not
interpreted or mangled by the recipient's browser at all.

I don't understand that. Where does the optimization come in?

Which is what I said I think.
