Since longlines-mode uses (widen), Mew cannot control a region which 
Mew want to wrap with longlines-mode. Moreover, longlines-mode works 
only for SPC-separated language like English. It does not work for 
continued language like Japanese.

To my opinion, longlines-mode rather than Mew should be improved. For 
example, it should provide variables which can indicate a target 
region.
