From bug 104195 (#27), assigned by request.

My test in the plain text editor looked like this:

I created a reply and applied Rewrap, in the editor it looked like:

>>> 012345678 012345678 012345678 012345678 012345678 012345678

The mail actually looked like this when received:

So two things are wrong here. Firstly, a line break is displayed, but not posted
(WYSIWYG-failure); secondly, all lines should have the same length, which is not
true.

PS: I'd appreciate a better summary.

Comment 1

[Akkana Peck]

Confirmed -- I see both problems.

Comment 2

[Akkana Peck]

Alas, I don't think this is going to make it by moz 1.0 (I'm overloaded) and I'm
not sure I'd be able to justify it to drivers.   But I'll look if I get a few
spare days.

Comment 3

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

Something more on that issue. When you have a long word (like a URL) this is
wrapped as well which is evil.

[Akkana Peck]

Boris: that's a good point, and a different issue.  Can you please file a new
bug on the fact that it wraps urls?  Thanks!

I can no longer reproduce the problem.

But there is the following observation. Before rewrap the text is blue (it is
quoted). Thereafter it is black. Hence the quoted property is reset. Is there a
bug for this?

Comment 7

[Akkana Peck]

Boris: I could have sworn there was a bug covering that, but I don't see one on
my list, and it's a very valid issue (and shouldn't be too hard to fix).  Can
you file one?

Comment 8

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

OK, I filed bug bug 161143.

I close this one, since I cannot reproduce it anymore. Reopen or verify;-)

verified.
