Well, the reason is good etiquette. See rationale for 72 character
wrapping here:

You'd be advised to lay off permanently from multipart-alternative mail
as well. Are there people that can only receive HTML mail and not plain
ASCII text? I can read both types from the CLI with Mutt, but I'm not
pleased to waste twice the bandwidth or sanction that behavior---all so
needlessly. Unless I know you personally, I ignore the
multipart-alternative clueless. If you need powerful white space control
get a good MUA and a good editor. Mutt + vim work exceptionally well.
