No, I meant enlarge horizontally. With my standard email summary format, 80 columns turn out to produce summary lines like this:
->2727 N 5/25 Hans Hüttel 11376- [TYPES/announce] Book announcement:
2662 5/23 Ulrich Müller 6629- [Bug 584616] [NEW] vm-8.1.1 paralle
51 5/21 Eli Zaretskii 3813- Re: bug#6229: 23.2; Cancel debug
Most of the time they turn out fine. The initial bits of the subject line are enough to tell me what is going on. But sometimes they aren't. So, horizontal enlargement of the frame is warranted.
I think the more general point is that an Emacs frame might contain some windows that have wrapped text and others that have unwrapped text. We need to balance the needs of both.
Cheers,
Uday
