Ah, but you may do this now. In your configuration, use
enable-alternate-editor-cmd. In the composer, while in the body of the
message, you will be able to use the command ^_. You will then be asked if
you wish to use the editor defined with your $EDITOR variable, or you may
specify another option. This will allow you to compose messages without
wordwrap using pico -w.

The other 2 editor configuration settings,
enable-alternate-editor-implicitly and define editor, are not useful for
your purpose. You wouldn't wish to use this feature for all composing tasks.

I find that the wrap often causes problems when subscribing to
listservers, in that the persons name gets wrapped to the next line
then the listserver complains that no name was given on the subscribe
