Some mails don't break lines when they reach a certain length,
which makes them a pain to read in Mutt. Mutt will wrap them, of
course, when they reach the end of the window, but can I set the
maximal length to something shorter than the width of the terminal
window?

For mutt's internal pager, that's controlled by the
$wrap
mutt variable.to wrap at column 80.
to revert to wrapping at the width of the terminal. See also the
$markers
option for visual indications of wrapped lines and$smart_wrap
to decide whether to wrap at word boundaries or not.(at the
:
prompt or in~/.muttrc
or in macros).
