How do you reset the width for reading messages in RMAIL in EMACS ?... For instance Control-u 99999 Control-x f can reset the width for editing/composing a message but how do you reset the width for reading messages received? The reading messages width appears preset so that it changes the original message lines, it wraps the original message lines rather than displaying the original message lines as had been sent.

Not sure what you are asking.  Do you see "Wrap" in the minor mode
area of the mode line?  If so, try "M-x visual-line-mode RET".

If the above doesn't help, please explain what you mean by "width".

               Nope, don't see Wrap in the minor mode area of the mode line.
               -UU-:%*--F1  RMAIL          Top (1,0)      (RMAIL 277/280)--12:55PM 1.29-----------

               Visual-Line mode enabled
               Visual-Line mode disabled

               Reading messages received is preset for 70 or so characters. How do you set it so longer lines of the original message don't get wrapt? For example, how do you reset to 1000 characters lines for reading messages received?
