Thunderbird recently (maybe somewhere around 60.0b4 or 60.0b6) started
wrapping plain text emails at 46 characters, even though my
`mailnews.wraplength` is set to the default value of 72.
See attached screenshot. Am I missing something?
Configuration:
- Thunderbird 60.0b9 (64-bit) 20180625191326
- OS: Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS.
- Addons: CompactHeader 2.1.5, Lightning 6.2b1, Provider for Gcal 4.1b1

Looks like you're using plaintext composition. If I do that, I wrap at 72 characters.
Install the add-on ThunderHTMLedit and look at the HTML of the composition. Yes, plaintext is of course also HTML ;-)
I see:
<body style="font-family: -moz-fixed; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 72ch;">1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 <br>
And of course that wraps at 72, otherwise Gecko would be broken.

Same exact output here, see attachment.

So then paste that into a HTML document and open with FF. Where does it wrap?

This HTML document wraps correctly at 72 char in FF 63.0a1_2018-06-28.
However, narrowing to Gecko so fast feels expeditious to me;
I'm confident too Gecko is fine, especially on such a simple use case.
Something else, somewhere, causes this incorrect wrapping. Or I might be
missing something utterly stupid (that's what pushed me to make a GIF,
to be maximally explicit). Requests for more debug info welcome :) .

Font scaling issue? See bug 1594444 comment #2.
