actually I read the two resources you provided as gmail displays
format=flowed formatted emails but does not allow a web interface
user to send such email.
Sine you want to send emails with emacs everything should be fine?

I send emails with lines no longer than 65 characters and my mail
client (notmuch/message/emacs) allows me to fill the paragraphs
while I type. I assume today's smartphones to be more than
capable of showing 65 chars in one line.
