You appear to be using Apple Mail. Are you entering any newlines
when you type such as in the paragraph below? ie. did you press Enter
after "manager,", "tools", "system"? Or are you just letting Apple Mail
auto-wrap it for you in the compose new message window?

Not all your posts are coming through like this. At least 2 didn't (including
the latest one). It looks to be more like 75 characters than 80. I think
that's a limit suggested by one of the mail RFCs. There might be an option
in Apple Mail to enforce that?
