Hmm .. It's never happened to me, and _most_ of my friends don't
line-wrap.

Don't think so. Just checked, and none of those mails have any special
headers.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser :-)

Anyway, if it really bugs you, you could create a display filter using
perl's Text::Autoformat. Or, you could setup a message hook to use a
different pager altogether (in case the former option is too slow).
