First off, these weren't "removed" from 4.x for
Mozilla. Mozilla's codebase is completely new
--any missing features were never added.

You mean the message-IDs in the References header,
right? Currently, "View All Headers" is broken, but once
it's fixed I'm not sure whether the MIDs will be clickable.
Someone closer to the code might know.

The wrapping pref is just a UI setting.
That's called format=flowed, and it's generally
considered a good thing (it allows long lines
without breaking older mailreaders, and without
suffering quotedamage in broken mailers). There
is a hidden pref in prefs.js to turn off
format=flowed and just use old-school
format=fixed. Not sure what it is though.

Alonzo who? Anyway, you should file a bug on
that. That's a small UI polish thing that may
have just been overlooked.
