Ah, ok.  When I do:

  1. emacs -Q
  2. M-x global-visual-line-mode
  3. M-x compose-mail RET

I get an *unsent mail* buffer in message-mode.  `visual-line-mode' is
indeed active, but message-mode also activates `auto-fill-mode' which
automatically inserts hard line breaks after 72 chars by default.

So basically, you could add

  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill)

to have `visual-line-mode' work as expected in message-mode.  But do you
really want to send such badly formatted mail?

Bye,
Tassilo
