What's it on the pgsql mailing lists? If you do this you should set format=flowed (see rfc 2646). If you do that, then clients can break the lines in an appropiate way. This is actually better than fixing the line width in the original message, since the recipient may not have the same number of characters (or pixels) of display as the sender.
