I get it now. I was referring to the message preview and message  
window. You were referring to the compose window. Please see my  
screenshot at http://dumol.ath.cx/balsa_soft_flow.png . See how my  
reply from Sylpheed fills all the horizontal space available in the  
message preview pane?

Also, please notice the wrap for the replies with multiple indentation  
in this mail. No M$ MUA involved...

Thanks,
