Webmail constructed messages exceeding maximum line length

First of all, this isn't a general problem with our current version. We can't duplicate the issue with other users on the server. 

When this user creates a new message or replies using the webmail interface and uses a signature the encoded message is 1 line which when exceeding 900 some characters causes the following bounce on certaIN hosts.

Reason: Remote host said: 550 Maximum line length exceeded (see RFC 5322 2.1.1).

When looking the raw message you normally get something like this:

--8bb418ce74194413b5e550fa34c20524
Content-Type: text/html;
    charset="utf-8"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

<div style=3D"font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><div data-empty=3D"true=
"><br></div><div data-empty=3D"true"><br></div><div contenteditable=3D"fals=
e"><div>Regards</div><div>Testing Support</div></div><div data-empty=3D"tru=
e"><br></div><hr id=3D"previousmessagehr"><div><span><strong>From</strong>:=

For this user is like this:

--a2c4175598c441cc912768f42447396c
Content-Type: text/html;
    charset="utf-8"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><div data-empty="true">Hi Christophe and Ginger,<br><br>As we discussed, Sophienwald wil etc....

- We tested with a brand new simple 1 line signature, same result.
- When no signature is used the message is encoded properly
- We checked the webmail settings which all looked standard, font face, encoding, etc...

Any idea on how to fix this? Recreating the user isn't really practical since it is a webmail user and has all data, contacts, etc stored on the server.

Edit: added version # 16.3.6768

Hi,

We have customers reporting the same problem when sending emails over webmail:

 --> Remote host said: 550 Maximum line length exceeded

We are running version 16.3.6821

We upgraded to 16.3.6830 last weekend and have clients that are having the same issue with webmail composed messages being rejected with the error: Remote host said: 500 Line too long
After inspecting the email source the attachment (base64 encoded) are presented in one long line instead of chunked.
Any idea of how to solve this?
