This is a quick hack around GtkText unability to do any sensible
wrapping. Concerning the message preview, do you suggest to have
another wrapping length for it?

I don't know unfortunately any better method if one wants to stick to
standard GtkText widget (anybody does?). I wish it had undo feature,
too. BTW, I am curious what is the status of GtkTkText, or similar
widget, I remember people were talking about it some time ago...
