   I think that user to be a setting in the GUI, but it's diverged from   
   that considerably since you last used it.   
      
   Now, you click the hamburger near the upper right, select Settings   
   and then Composition, only to find that there's no setting like the   
   one you mention. A search for "wrap" (no quotes) in the box at the   
   upper right comes up empty.   
      
   As Jörg Knobloch has posted -- as far as I know it's the only way --   
   one must into Settings » General » Config Editor and set   
   mailnews.wraplength.
