   For Email/News text messages, in your browser or mail/news client,   
      
   1) From the Edit Menu -> Preferences   
   2) Mail & Newsgroups category   
   3) Plain Text Messages section-> Message Display   
   4) Check the box "Wrap text to fit window width"   
      
   Or, in browser   
      
   1) Type about:config in URL window   
   2) Search for wrap   
   3) Set the Boolean parameter mail.wrap_long_lines to True   
      
   For reading HTML messages or Web Pages, you are usually at the mercy   
   of the composer of the page. This is particularly true when _some_   
   people use things like frames, fixed-width graphics, etc.   
      
   For composing HTML Web Pages, let as much of the display configuration   
   be done on the client side. Use percentages for width, not fixed   
   pixel-widths, unless you are going to take it upon yourself to decide   
   what screen resolution everyone in the world should use. [g]   
      
   For composing HTML messages, don't. And if you must, let the recipient   
   decide how to display it. As you already know, there almost nothing as   
   annoying as having to use a horizontal scroll bar for reading text.
