[Emacs] Fix mu4e keybinds, handle screen width better, and stop spam

Browse Source 
For some reason, some keybinds in mu4e weren’t getting undefined
anymore, this is now fixed.

Add automatic vertical split if the screen is considered wide
enough (120 characters for the headers mode and 80 characters for the
message view mode). If the screen or the headers mode window are not
wide enough, the window will split horizontally instead of vertically.

This commit also adds a function to quickly insert a response to
spammers to get them trapped in an infinite loop of emails. See the
new links in this commit.

***** Dealing with spammers

I’m sure you have received at least one email recently from a sketchy
email address asking you something that might be completely unrelated
to what you do, or at least somewhat related. Fortunately, [[https://twitter.com/Boris/status/1360208504544444417][we have a
hero]]! Now, let me write a function that will insert their pre-written
text at point so I don’t have to go back to their Twitter thread each
time I want to shut spammers up.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun reply-to-bill ()
(interactive)
(insert "Please forward this email to bill@noprocurement.com,
and delete my email, as I’ll be changing jobs soon, and this
email address will no longer be active.
Bill Whiskoney is a senior partner at Nordic Procurement
Services, and he handles our budget and will help you further or
introduce you to someone who can."))
#+end_src
If you want the full story, make sure to read the whole thread, I
guarantee it, it’s worth your time! And in case the Twitter thread
disappear in the future, [[https://threader.app/thread/1360208504544444417][here is a backup]].
