Only some! That is what makes me puzzle :-)
E-mails coming from Kmail, Alpine or even Gmail webmail (text based
format) are fine, they wrap as they should.
I have problems with Yahoo! webmail e-mails and Thunderbird (also tested
with Outlook and fails the same way but coming from that MUA is
expected). Thunderbird messages are more strange to fail.
I still think it's a problem with the underlying text wrapping. I
misunderstood your first message - I thought this was occurring with emails
you were composing. If a client hard wraps a paragraph at 100 characters,
and you mutt soft wraps that same paragraph at 78 characters, you'll end up
with a bunch of lines with 78 characters, interleaved with lines of 22
characters.
The only solution is to have mail clients either never insert hard breaks
(which can be problematic because not all receiving clients soft wrap
properly) or to have all clients use format-flowed. Which they don't.
Unless I am mistaken, there is not much you can do.
