Great choice! congrats.

Powermail follows the internet standards. It is not the email client that
controls the wrapping.
See <http://www.tac.nyc.ny.us/cgi-bin/rfc?822> for details

Nope, sorry.

Nope, sorry

Not (yet?)

You will have to do it with a filter (or with an applescript)

Double-click will launch your browser and get the URL (or create a new
message if it is an email address)

For filtering junk there are some excellent external applications like
'SpamSieve' It works seamless with Powermail.

They do what they are designed to do on the Mac platform.
For cursor control on the Mac you should use the option and Command key
in conjunction with the arrow-keys. F.I. : Cmd-up to the beginning of the
document, cmd-down to the end. Opt-up to the beginning of the page and so on.

Powermail uses the standard apple system spelcheckroutines. I think it
should be possible to create an applescript in conjuncion with a filter
for your purpose.

If you need to read HTML-mail you'd better click the little globe-icon at
the bottom of the email-page. It will launch your default browser and
render the HTML in there. (And yes, the scrollwheel will work in Safari
or any other browser)

Nope, sorry

Click and old the little globe at the bottom of the page. Then make your
choice from the pop-up menu.
>Button to toggle various "header" views.
Nope, sorry, only a keyboard short-cut
>Option to "Bounce" an email back to the original sender.
Nope. sorry
