104497 - does not appropriately wrap quoted text when replying to an msg that was originally un-wrapped

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 110754

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Joseph R. Van Valen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

If someone sends me an e-mail message that was not wrapped by their user agent,
when replying, Mozilla does not wrap the quote according to my settings unless I
manually re-wrap the message from the options menu.

Mozilla already (by default) wraps un-wrapped messages when forwarding messages
using the 'inline' option. It should do the same when dealing with replying. Or,
at least have an option to function that way.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a plain-text message sent to you that is unwrapped. You can verify this
by viewing the message source.
2. Click reply
3. Change "To:" to yourself
4. Hit send
5. Open the message
6. View message source to verify quoted msg is unwrapped


Actual Results:  The message will remain unwrapped (even during composition) and
be sent to the recipient regardless of any wrapping options set in composition
preferences, unless you manually re-wrap the composition from the options menu.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should automatically re-wrap the quoted text when
replying as if the Options->Rewrap command was chosen. This would be consistent
with what is done when forwarding a message.

Additional: Note that I am talking about Mozilla's behavior to the physical
message. When viewing plain-text mail with Mozilla, by default it will
automatically display the message wrapped.

However, if I were replying to someone using a user agent that does not display
the message wrapped, his quote will appear unwrapped, even though I have in my
Mozilla composition options, "wrap plain text messages at [xx] characters."

Sounds similar to 83378.

Is this the same as, when replying, the message is not quoted but rather the 
same as if it was just "viewed" or "edited as new".

I have to cut the message and then "insert as quote" to get appropriate reply 
behavoir.  Just started within the last day.

I am not sure I understand this correctly, but I think this is bug 110754.
