I'm using 1024x768, and YAM's read window is about 120 chars wide.

Nope. I've been conscious of keeping message text to way under 80
chars since way back before time began--back in Fidonet days.

My read window doesn't wrap even if lines are longer than my read
window width. As far as I can see, it's exactly the same as in MD-II.
Incoming messages are not wrapped, but as soon as they are transferred
to write window, they wrap to what I have set, probably 72 or 74.

Yeah but we were talking about incoming. Jules' script was not wrapped
at his end, and not here either.
