It amuses me that you're strongly "80 columns only" for code but are
pretty anti-column-width-restriction on email :)

In general, I'm fine with the 80 column restriction on code but I'd
like it not to be an absolute restriction. There are just somethings
that end up being more readable with relaxed column width guidelines
(some strings, hyperlinks etc.).

Would you be OK with ignoring some longer lines assuming that we have a
tool that can ignore those violations in a sane way?
