Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 249093

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Peter Turczak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/125.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.9

When an html message with long non-wrapped lines (Apple Mail creates these for an example) and the 
user chooses to forward this message in-line Composer won't wrap the lines but leave them as they are 
while reply would wrap them. 
This wouldn't be a problem if you don't want to print them: When printing such a forwarded mail you 
would get a printout with a very small font because mozilla wants to squeeze all the text on a page-
width. 
Furthermore printing of the original mail does _not_ fail, it is printed correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an html e-mail to yourself containing very long, non-wrapped line (>100 chars per line)
2. Forward it 
3. Print the forwarded message
Actual Results:  
When printing such a forwarded mail you would get a printout with a very small font because mozilla 
wants to squeeze all the text on a page-width. 

Expected Results:  
The lines should be wrapped as they are in a reply

Is the mail account that you're forwarding from configured for HTML or plain 
text compose?

When the original HTML message is displayed, does it show the "long lines" *as* 
long, unwrapped lines (e.g. inside a <pre> block), or do you have the original 
HTML message displayed "as plain"?  Or does it wrap the text on display?  If the 
latter, I am unable to duplicate the problem, whether composing in plain text or 
in HTML.

See bug 237558.
