Using Compose to write a plain text message.  Set for wrap on send at 72 chars.
I notice that the auto-wrapping appears to put "<space><CR>" at end of each
line. When message is sent, and then viewed in Mail Window, word wrapping occurs
at extremity of message viewing pane instead of where "<space><CR>" occurs. 
Apperently, message viewer ignores a CR when preceeded by a space?  If I perform
an Edit->Rewrap before sending, then the extra spaces are stripped out and the
Message Viewing Pane properly displays the word wrap.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose plain text message with word wrap.
2. Send to self.
3. View in message pane.

Actual Results:  
Lines wrapped at extremity of pane (regardless of Message Display/Wrap Text to
Fit Window Length setting) instead of at the wrap points as seen in message
composition window.

Expected Results:  
Shown the plain text mail message with wrapping as originally composed.

Somehow, I can't belive this is a real bug since it's so obvious....Please
fogive if I have missed some setting somewhere....
What is happening with this bug is that the mail is being composed with 
format=flowed.  This is in fact not a bug, but the intended behavior.
Please refer to bug 168420 and the mini-FAQ attached to that bug; information on 
disabling f=f is found there, if desired.
