Wow, I have a draft message started with this exact same question.
I use putty at 132 cols, and it's very frustrating that I have to resize
after starting screen. You can use C-a W to switch into 132 mode, but
screen really should be able to detect this.
I've dealt with it in the past by forbidding putty to allow resizes, but
then I can't make the window any bigger if I need it.
