Here is a regex string that works better. Just stick this in the administrative control panel where you have the maillist rules.

replace mask: '/([^\r\n]{50,})\r?\n(?!\r|\n)/'

replace with: "$1 "

(include a space after the 1.)

This allows you to eliminate word wrapping from incoming emails for lines 50 characters or more, by killing off the line breaks. If under 50, the line breaks stay put. This allows signature lines to be preserved (in practice) while allowing message bodies to fill up the container. I obviously did not write this. A dude on another list did. Just passing it along. Preliminary tests show it is doing the trick. The 50-character benchmark is, of course, not perfect. An intentional single-line break of a short sentence will defeat it, as will an extremely long signature line. But in practice it seems to do the job just fine.
