TB 3.x dropped the option to set the char length from the interface. You
now have to use the Config Editor to change from the default 72 char.[1]

To set the wrap to the window width:
Edit|Preferences|Advanced|General|Config Editor|Filter: wrap
find: mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width and doubleclick to set to true.

Note: when testing, if you only enter a character repeatedly
(ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt etc) it won't wrap. You need to
have a space as in a normal sentence for the wrap to show.
