Let's see if this is any better - Pegasus has an option for "disable 
all text styling options" (which seems to force plain text. Mind you, 
I never set any of the styled options, but I now get another option 
under "Outgoing mail" for "Message Width: 70 characters". Before it 
gave it as a length measurement (145 millimeters).

Any better?

BTW ... Evolution has a way of handling that. Yes, I've seen the same 
thing you've seen (only when quoting, tho - not reading). Anyway, 
with Evo, you hilight the text, and choose a style option of 
"NORMAL", as opposed to "PREFORMAT". And then it wraps sanely. 
There's a keyboard shortcut, too.
