That's a problem specific to AIOE. Either use a different news server, or:

in Thunderbird, go to Preferences->Preferences
click on Config Editor...
promise to be careful
type "wrap" in the search field
double-click "plain_text.wrap_long_lines" to set it to true

That's it.
Make sure that the "mailnews.wraplength" that you will see there is set
to 72 (or less thatn 80, anyway).
