Details

For my work, I sometimes need to send complex change scripts for approval by others.  Having these word wrap makes them difficult to follow, so in Tools -> Options -> Compositon, I set Wrap plain text messages at 132 characters.

This works fine if the account is set for composition in text mode.

However, I sometimes also need to embed images in e-mails.  This requires having the account set to use HTML composition.

If HTML composition is selected, text is unconditionally wrapped at 72 characters and there is no preference to change this.

So, you can either select text width or embed images.  There is no facility to do both in a single e-mail message.
Yes.  No idea how i missed that in my duplicate search.
