I read my e-mails with Most in Mutt on a Konsole on my desktop monitor ;
Most doesn't do wrapping & if it did, I wouldn't want it to.
Your unbroken paragraph above is awkward for me to read in that way.
I want to see lines broken into syntactically meaningful parts as above,
when I can read them easily + fluently.

If people try to read their correspondence on their cell-phones,
they're asking for awkward results. Cell-phones are for SMS + chatter (smile).
