A checkbox in the Options / Windows pane would help.

It's off by default now because it's off by default in Cygwin's xterm and
because 'screen' did unwelcome 80/132 switches. This was documented in the
0.6.1 announcement. You can enable 80/132 switching using the relevant xterm
control sequence:
echo $'\e[?40h'
Yours is the first query about this in over three months since the default
changed, which makes me think that it's too obscure a feature for a GUI option.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Most Xterms have allow132 label for their VT
options".

Xterms have VToptions menu available to them via Control Middle Mouse button.
You can also set the option via .Xdefaults. One of the options listed is allow
80/132 column switching. The request was not to revert to change introduced in
0.6.1, it is include an option to allow previous behavior.

Mintty is aimed at xterm-compatible terminal emulation, but not an
xterm-compatible UI. Xterm has well over a hundred options and its man page
stretches to 4700 lines. I have no intention of replicating that, i.e. an
option being present in xterm is not enough reason to add it to mintty.
