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.
