[12-23-09 22:14]: If this ml does not allow full length lines (because of the 72-column restriction) then one must either write the lines appropriately or mention in the text of the message that 2 lines equal 1 line of code - and to press RETURN when *both* lines have been typed :-) .
The "ml" does *not* set the line length, you do with your editor or chosen method of display or the poster with his editor and chosen line length. Have you not noticed the 300+ character long lines our Barrister Rankins provides?
I am using Thunderbird (and have been for many, many years). I have tried sending HTML messages to openSUSE fora - and they get rejected. All my messages are written to be sent in HTML format - EXCEPT those destined for specific sites which do not accept HTML, which include openSUSE. TB does not deliberately format to down-size messages but displays what is received. All messages from openSUSE come in as plain text and word-wrapped at 72-chars. However, I have seen some messages coming in from people which are NOT word-wrapped at 72-chars. Why this is so I cannot say, nor care really because I can read them as TB simply displays them across the wide-screen monitor which I have. This message I am writing is being written in wide-screen format (24" wide) but I bet that you see it word-wrapped at 72-chars :-) .
