Actually, I had been thinking that the one long, unbreakable, line was causing evo to see that line length as the minimum width. So, having the window sized smaller than the width of the unbreakable line causes all lines to wrap outside the window width. I can see where making the window wider than the length of the unbreakable line would allow the other lines to wrap at a wider width. I'm really concerned with the lines wrapping wider than the width, thus causing me to need to scroll the window. the other condition is not a problem.
I've attached the email here.

Ensure that your mail view window is more narrow than the last line in this buffer and
you *should* see that all of the lines in this message are as long as the last line
and need to be scrolled from left to right.
Wouldn't it be nice if the evolution would line wrap these normal lines correctly and
let just the one long unbreakable line be too wide?
