As I wrote in another part of this thread, in 2025 any MUA that can’t wrap 
received text to 
the preference of the viewer deserves a bug filed against that MUA.  For 
example, every 
graphical MUA of which I am aware (like Thunderbird and Roundcube, which you 
mention) 
can wrap text to the desired length by resizing the viewable window.  If your 
does not, I 
would recommend filing a bug report against your MUA.
