I've experienced the issue here and there with smaller messages with
lots of v-e-r-y long uwrappable lines.

I take it as an indication that some things don't belong in the body of
an e-mail.  An inappropriate use of a tool always yields problematic
results.  [~30 years in IT speaking]

It's also fun to get a message in Mutt, Apline, etc... which has
strings equivalent to terminal control characters buried in a message. 
Talk about weird behavior...

Log files, if in e-mail, should be text/plain attachments.
