This doesn't seem to be such a common/requested feature though nearly
everyone uses it in newsgroups.

Wish there was such an interface.... Anyway, I got it to auto fold at 72
regardless of window size, by this rare precious guide

Set fixed-width plain text on thunderbird and derived:
On the page Advanced – General, press the Config Editor... button. Set
the Filter to: flowed Set the following preference to the opposite of
its default (for example, by double-clicking it), so that the setting is:
mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed user set boolean false
Optionally set the other preference to the opposite of its default (for
example, by double-clicking it). If you do this, then messages that
other people send to you also appear to be fixed-width, even if the
person who sent the message intended it to flow:
mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support user set boolean true
