I'm a fellow mutt user - I've always used ~80 column limit... it makes me wince thinking of removing it!
I do hear from non-nerd contacts asking about the line breaks, perhaps you're right, maybe it's time!

I assume you use vim or emacs for editing -- vertical movement between lines is more convenient than movement within a single wrapped line.
In vim, you can use gj or gk for vertical movement within a wrapped line.
At some point I decided to make the arrow keys more useful:
map <silent> <Up> gk
map <silent> <Down> gj
