When mail is sent after plain-text editing where lines are automatically
wrapped, would be good if (optionally) the lines are actually broken up in the
way displayed during composition, in order to maintain the line layout of
paragraphs.
(Probably it would be good not to change the current line wrapping behavior when
just saving the message as draft.)

Reproducible: Always

By default, Mozilla creates plain-text messages with "format=flowed" which 
allows the displayed text to be reflowed by a supporting mail client.  See bug 
168420 for information about f=f, including the informative FAQ attached to that 
bug; information is there for turning f=f off, if considered undesirable.

However, the program is working as designed; marking bug Invalid.
