Lines in mutt configuration files (muttrc and mailcap files) can be
continued with \ -- or saying it another way, the newline character
otherwise ending the line can be escaped.

Just make sure that you don't have spaces after after the \.

Yes, there is in fact no other limit to line length than the size
of the available memory.

P.S. Mikko, something seems wrong with your configuration or is it
maybe a bug in Mutt? 
Pieter had a "Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" header in his
message. Nevertheless did you send him a CC of your answer. And I
have seen several similar cases from other persons, too. I wonder
why the M-F-T header doesn't seem to work.
