Ruben,

I fixed this for myself by just specifying a parameter in the 
preferences.  You can also turn word wrap off, as Ali suggested, then the 
text will fill the window, side to side.  Also, a lot of times it's other 
peoples' clients screwing up the wrapping, they can specify where they 
want their outgoing mails to wrap, after all.  I notice this especially 
with mailing lists.  I set my incoming wrapping to 79 and outgoing to 75 
and haven't had a problem with it since, but I'm sure YMMV.  Make sure 
your window is big enough for the number you give in preferences, btw.

Wonderful Balsa coders:  I noticed that to see the changes you specify in 
preferences, you actually have to quit out of balsa and restart.  Apply 
doesn't seem to work for this.  To duplicate, I turned word wrap for 
incoming and outgoing email off, and hit apply both times.  I sent myself 
an email, it was wrapped.  I quit and restarted balsa, the email I sent 
myself wasn't wrapped.  I turned word wrap for incoming and outgoing email 
back on and hit apply both times.   I sent myself an email, it wasn't 
wrapped.  I quit and restarted, the email was wrapped.   This is balsa 
1.2.1.
