      One of the washing functions affects
    long lines: You receive a message which has long lines, you then
    invoke the washing function, and Gnus will display the message with
    newlines in the right places.  There are other washing functions, but
    those are not relevant in this context.

    So M-x view-file RET could, in principle, offer similar functions.

    However, IMVHO, this is not a substitute for display word wrapping.

Why not?
