169691 - toggle line wrap on/off for current composition in plain text

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

A very handy feature of NN4 was that, when composing a message, you could go to
View -> Wrap Long Lines and turn off wrapping for the current composition
window. This is needed when composing a message with long file paths, or other
such strings. Currently Mozilla gives no way to turn off wrapping for the
current composition without going into preferences before and after composition.

💡 idea

If this (toggling line wrap on/off) is implemented as a toolbar button, it would have the additional benefit of being able to control the line wrapping of either the entire message or only a selected paragraph:

• if text is selected: button toggles line wrap only for the selection (this is bug 1139059).
• if no text is selected: button toggles line wrap for entire message
