Sure. My window manager has a maximize vertically option (button 2 on
the maximize button).
No, I meant enlarge horizontally. With my standard email summary format, 80
columns turn out to produce summary lines like this:
->2727 N 5/25 Hans Hüttel 11376- [TYPES/announce] Book announcement:
2662 5/23 Ulrich Müller 6629- [Bug 584616] [NEW] vm-8.1.1 paralle

Most of the time they turn out fine. The initial bits of the subject line are
enough to tell me what is going on. But sometimes they aren't. So, horizontal
enlargement of the frame is warranted.
I think the more general point is that an Emacs frame might contain some
windows that have wrapped text and others that have unwrapped text. We need to
balance the needs of both.
Cheers,
Uday
