For Debian lists:

"Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines
longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output
(e.g., ls -l)." - http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/

My MUA automatically wraps lines at 72 chars, I only use "endless" lines
when sending code, resp. CLI output. If somebody sees lines that are no
code, CLI output and it should be an "endless" line it's not cause by my
MUA, but by the receivers MUA.

The web interface you're using might be broken.

A test:

This line is warped at around 72 chars, it shouldn't be endless for
anybody receiving it.

This line is not warped at 72 chars, it quasi should be endless for anybody receiving it, at least it should be much longer than 72 chars and I only use this mode for code and CLI output and for this test.
