Emacs-w3m limits text within the window width currently used[1]
if and only if an html source doesn't specify it.  That an html
source specifies it is mostly for keeping the table layout.  In
that case filling of text will probably make it get mixed-up.
It's not what you want, isn't it?  There will be no way to shrink
the table width, I think.  MS-Outlok does not do it, either.

Instead, how about performing `M-x toggle-truncate-lines RET' in
the message window?  It might be good Wanderlust provides the
summary command that does it, and also the summary command that
scrolls the message window horizontally.
