Normally, it just affects the messages you send out, not the
appearance of messages you receive. But going by this message,
it seems to now be formatted to around 40 characters!

Whichever editor I'm using, I word wrap by hand (to around 65
characters, to leave plenty of room for quoting indents), so
it's guaranteed to get it right.

You could do with a "-- " before your signature though - it
helps mail readers to auto-strip the signature from the reply.
