The Postfix smtp_line_length_limit feature is not a mail formatting
feature: it is not expected to play nice with DKIM signatures
(not with the local MTA's own signature, and not with the signature
from some up-stream system.

Instead, purpose of the limit is to ensure that mail will not be
dropped by some borked mail system or firewall.

If you want to play with mail, please send well-formatted email,
that's text <80 and use encapsulation as defined by RFCs. These
things exist for a purpose.
