Sorry, but the subject is about (word) wrapping text while *reading* -
not composing/editing - articles. See my reference to the "pager", i.e.
output, not input.

As Rich mentions, those are probably the settings of your editor, i.e.
indeed composing an article, not reading articles.
FYI, for composing/editing, I use the vim editor and vim can also do
word-wrapping.
But as said, my question is about (word) wrapping while reading
(mostly other people's) articles.
