In Preferences > Mail & Newsgroups > Composition there is a box to set the long
of text lines:
Wrap plain text messages at [....] characters

I want an alternate option to wrap lines at window size, and do not insert CR/LF
in mail source

PD: set wrap at 99999 is not a good workaround, because text does not wrap at all.

Reproducible: Always

This is not a duplicate!

I have read bug 145895 and also bug 160468 (wich 145895 is marked as dupe of)
That bugs are about wrapping at fixed width (in chars)

*I want dynamic wrap* when composing a message


PD: Hey, do you read bug reports or you have a process called "duped" ("d" for
daemon) wich marks bugs with many similar words?

There is a preference that allows the plain text mail composer to wrap at window 
width, called:   mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width

This will dynamically wrap as you compose to the window width, but the mail that 
gets sent will be wrapped into lines of a fixed length.  This feature does not 
work entirely correctly -- see bug 233705.
