The quoted part of non-flowed plaintext messages, when displayed in the message
pane (converted to html quotations), can get wrapped as long-short-long-short.
They should be displayed with the original line length, showing a horizontal
scrollbar or being wrapped to the window width only if absolutely necessary.
Will attach a screen shot showing that it's being wrapped to less than the
window width.

Nominate for rtm: it looks bad, detracts from vertical real estate, and it's a
regression both from earlier builds and from 4.x.

Do you reall see *that*? (See attached screenshot - part where the msg pane
should be is completely munged.)
I don't understand the bug from the description. What you describe sounds
correctly to me - it is "wrap to window width" (see pref in |mailnews|msg
display|) and works just like 4.x (just that Mozilla uses HTML-style quotes,
which makes it look less bad).
Or do the lines wrap sometime before the end of the window?

No, it doesn't really look like that. Must be a gimp problem (I converted from
xwd to jpg with gimp, and gimp shows it correctly). Let's try a gif instead ...

Filed bug 54463 on the problems viewing both the jpg and the gif in mozilla --
the gif shows up okay in 4.x, but in mozilla it flashes briefly then changes to
a page showing the attachment id. So you'll need to use 4.x to see the
attachment. :-(

Anyway, if you view the gif, you'll see a line that wraps before the end of the
window.

Akk, jpg might have been an upload problem. BTW: PNG works well for screenshots.
It looks like an 80 char wrap. Are you sure, this wrap was not in the mail source?

Actually, no, I'm not sure now. I thought I had viewed that message in 4.x to
be sure that the problem was mozilla, and that I had seen several other messages
like that -- but I don't seem to be seeing the problem today. Maybe it really
was like that in the message.

Ben's right. This wasn't a mozilla problem, it was a problem on the other end.
Sorry!
