When going to hotmail to write email in Thai language, the words typed in the
editbox provide by the hotmail page is not wrapped correctly. Basically, it
seems like it doesn't even knoow how to wrap Thai words as it consistently
breaks down sentences only when spaces are available. This is not the typical
and correct wrapping scheme. It works for English but not for Thai and Asian
languages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to hotmail.
2. New up a message
3. Keep typing Thai words.

Actual Results:  
You should see that words are wrapped improperly. They should be wrapped only on
word boundary, not at available space. Thai word boundary is not space.

Expected Results:  
Word should be wrapped correctly. In IE, it wraps everything correclty.
