That’s because his message was sent in quoted-printable (RFC 1521) format=flowed (RFC 3676/2646) form, which is a post-1990 innovation the list server doesn't have to care about; long lines are divided into chunks of up to 76 characters which are reassembled by the receiving mailer for display.
The fact that the list server doesn't care about it can be seen in the way the list footer is appended directly to his signature with no line break after, an artefact of pasting plain text to flowed text.
Quoted-printable can also deal with the long URI case, and in fact Sean's URI is broken between "ht" and "ml>" and then reassembled, but has a heard break between DeveloperTools/ and Reference - a flaw in the sending mailer's text wrapping.
