Looking at message.el.gz, the function message-check-news-body-syntax is 
likely to be the culprit.

This function checks if a line length is higher than 80 characters long 
and warns you with the following:

"You have lines longer than 79 characters.  Really post?"

To detect lines longer than 80 characters you can use whitespace-mode 
which will highlight lines longer than the value held by the variable 
whitespace-line-column.

The default value of whitespace-line-column is 80.
