Yes, but *that* isn't the fault of the tagging policy.  It's the fault
of the original poster.

I'm old.  :-)  I have to keep the xterm windows comfortably readable
because I stare at them all day.  And, ironically, I have another
problem, which perhaps someone knows the answer to:  If you *do* run
mutt in an xterm wider than 80 characters, I have not yet found a
reliable way to get *vi* (vim, actually) to autowrap based on the
*left* margin rather than the right one, as is its default.  This
leaves you needing to reset your wm every time you resize the window,
which is similarly unpleasant.

Suggestions?  Did I miss, say, the ability to 

set wm=-72

?
