In the common layout used by most graphical MUAs that I have seen, making the window narrow enough to wrap text at a sensible line length results in Subject, From and Date columns that are too narrow to read. I have just tried an alternative layout in Seamonkey (nee Mozilla) that puts the folder, thread and message panes side by side, which does work (especially if you have a large monitor or you are happy for it to use the full width), but does feel very odd. I expect that Thunderbird has a similar setting (and in reply to Blair Noctis, I am sure that Thunderbird properly supports format=flowed if properly configured (I have disabled it in Seamonkey, but am considering re-enabling as a result of this thread)).
