How, exactly, is it a PITA?
Because hard-wrapped text won't reflow, so if you resize your email
window - or use a wider terminal if you're that way inclined - it
stays stuck in a narrow strip down the left hand edge of your screen.
By the same token, use a narrower window, or simply increase the font
size, and it breaks into pieces, making it particularly unfair and
unfriendly for people with low vision or other eyesight problems.
Yow! This is not the world-wide web. The formatting of text is up to
the person doing the typing. There are accepted conventions for how
this works, and they work for everyone (except apparently you).
I am NOT trying to start an argument here, but it is my opinion that
you're trying to treat email as something that it isn't.

Please don't. Hard line-wrap has been a PITA since the 1960s and still is.
