With markup like HTML, we consider it the job of the browser to display it correctly. Email is no different.
Email (as in text/plain) is different. It is not a markup language.
I still don't see any reason to break the lines. (Tradition not being an influence on drupal in any other area AFAIK.)
Drupal sends plain-text emails by default. Plain text mails should (in my opinion) be wrapped to 80 lines. If you want to send html-mail you need to use some contributed module. That module can undo the wrapping of the text for the html mails, if desired.
Also I think if I remember correctly according to the RFC plaintext needs to be wrapped at 76 chars, but I think these days it is a guideline more than a rule. Gordon.
