I like to run notmuch in a very wide window as that make search view
work better. But I don't like to read very wide text in show
view. Emails sent from notmuch are fine as they hard-wrapped at
something like 80 characters (usually), but some clients seem to make
each paragraph one line and leave the recipient to wrap the text.
notmuch-word-wrap-long-lines just controls where to wrap this text. The
problem with the current version is that it ignores the indentation due
to being deep in a thread, so if I set it to 80, then deep messages
(even ones hard wrapped to 80) get wrapped at say 60 characters.
Mine wraps at indentation+80 (if you set nw.w.l.l to 80) which means no
hard-wrapped message get further wrapped however deep in a thread it is.
Best wishes
