I'd rather say it's the fault of the email client of the mail's sender
which probably uses "format=flowed".  Have a look at 

,----[ git-format-patch(1) ]
| 	By default, Thunderbird will both wrap emails as well as

`----

The same applies not just to Thunderbird, but probably to most graphical
mail clients in use today.  So either the sender should disable that
somehow, or attach patches as attachment instead of inline.

Bye,
Tassilo
