Mmm... I see no difference whatever "editor" I choose, even they are 
setup to do not wrap. 

I have installed mcedit, nano and vim. Mcedit is set to wrap lines but 
nano is not. Anyway, if I change mcedit to do not wrap or if I select 
"nano" as mutt editor, I still get the same problem.

What makes a difference is to change the pager. So, when I set:

***
set pager = nano
***

I get an unusable pager *but* long lines do not wrap. So I think the 
problem relies in built-in pager, not editor :-?
