When pasting code into an email, it's more comfortable, if the line for
the composer view doesn't get wrapped. In this case horizontal scrolling
is better than a line break.

Keep in mind that many Linux and BSD desktop PC and laptop users have
different demands on their MUAs, than other computer users.

If you want to get wrapped lines for the composer's/editor's view, but
an endless line for the mail body, than use an external editor, instead
of Evolution's composer.

Take a look at the options of

  Edit ▸ Plugins ▸ External Editor

and set it to use Gedit, Pluma, Xed or another editor.
