Aha!  So itʼs here: Settings / Configure / Composer / [ ] Word wrap at column.

([ ] means ‘untick’).

But why??  (I hope you do not just hate your correspondents :-)

Do you worry about the ancient SMTP limit of 1000 bytes per line, that is still 
enforced by many MTAs?  Donʼt!  This kind of low-level cruft users should not 
be even aware about.  KMail takes it into account when encoding mail 
transparently.

And let me guess, it will never be.  Why to implement a failed standard, that 
is supposed to be an ideal solution to no problem?

Not to say, it would not help in this very case.
