[MlMt] Limit text width for received format=flowed mails

[Kai Großjohann]

I think what he means is that it's better not to use the full window 
width for regular text shown in paragraphs: long lines are hard to 
follow.

And I agree: Having a wider window is good for embedded images and 
tables and the like, but the regular paragraphs could easily be limited 
to a line length of 66 characters or so.
