Any email client (including mobile email clients) worth its salt is going to 
wrap the subject line (at least in the email view, if not in the index view), 
so that shouldn't really be an issue, right?

That's true. However, convention is *also* important, and Mutt's convention 
is...unconventional. Most email systems usually use FW: at the beginning to 
indicate that the email has been forwarded (if I'm not mistaken). Why shouldn't 
Mutt do the same?
