Email line-length defaults to about 76; how to increase?

["Jameson C . Burt" <jameson@monumental.com>]

My email lines get split after about 76 characters.
How could I change this to something longer,
or should email lines be split at 76 characters?

This limit causes problems whenever I email Linux syslog lines,
which are seldom less than even 90 characters in length.
I haven't been able to determine if this line-length limit is set
by exim, procmail, or perhaps my mail user agent (balsa).
