I bet, itʼs a port of aforeimplied ‘gnus-treat-fill-long-lines’ and is not
window-width-aware. That is, if the current window is narrower than
preconfigured fill-column, it still dumbly wraps on that column. Let alone
following window resizing, when the message is already displayed.
In other words, thatʼs rather a workaround, than a proper solution, which
should rely on same display machinery, that soft-wraps lines longer than window.
Actually, depending on how you manage _system_ windows, it may make perfect
sense to automatically shrink the frame displaying your MUA to a comfortable
width.
Or, if resizing frames is not convenient for you (or even impossible, as on
TTY), Iʼd suggest to use major-mode-agnostic ‘visual-fill-column-mode’ (not
part of GNU Emacs, available on Melpa). The following configuration bits are
for Gnus, but you got the idea:
