I didn't know this utility, but have now installed it. Though I see (from the man):
For the "power user", a full understanding of par will require multiple readings of the TERMINOLOGY, OPTIONS, DETAILS, and EXAMPLES sections.
So may be a while before grasp it all ;)
The last thing I'd like to do to polish off the text-wrap is to set "Soft wrap" on and adjust the wrap column whenever an email is opened.
Is there any way to do this? The soft wrap setting at least appears to be stored on a per-window basis.
It is not, it is saved on (sort of) a per-file type basis.
So what I'd suggest is to create a new language (you'd probably do that anyway to get proper styling of quoted text etc.) and use that language for your emails (so give it a unique extensions, so they'll be recognized).
If you toggle the soft wrap setting, while the language is set to your new email language, it should stick for that file type.
