For writing, if you use visual-line-mode, then you should also use the
"flowed" format (C-c C-p C-f or use the menu).  Add to your
~/.emacs.d/init.el

(defun my-mew-use-format-flowed-hook()
  (if mew-use-format-flowed
      (progn
	(auto-fill-mode 0)
	;; wrap at words but show arrows in fringe:
	(set (make-local-variable 'visual-line-fringe-indicators)
	     '(left-curly-arrow right-curly-arrow))
	(visual-line-mode 1)
	)
    (progn
      (auto-fill-mode 1)
      (visual-line-mode 0)
      )))

(add-hook 'mew-draft-use-format-flowed-hooks 'my-mew-use-format-flowed-hook)


For reading, use "_" to switch line wrapping.


Best,
