270718 - On message save, text is wrapped--while resuming draft, no new text is wrapped

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155622

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Brett Leber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041112 Firefox/1.0

Not certain if that made sense. Let me explain: I compose and send plain text. I
have TB set to wrap plain text messages at 72 characters. During the compose
process, text is wrapped at 72 characters. 

First scenario: If I send that message to myself, the text is only wrapped by
the end of the window--this is fine. Now, second scenario: I write a few
paragraphs, save the message as a draft. The preview window shows the message
flowing to the edge of the window (this is fine again). When I resume this
message ("Edit Draft"), the text is wrapped at 72 like it was originally. Here's
the bug: I send the message to myself and only the most recent text flows to the
edge of the pane--the saved draft text is permanently wrapped at 72 characters!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose in plain text, with wrap at 72.
2. Write more than a line.
3. Save the draft.
4. "Edit Draft" and write a few more lines.
5. Send message.
Actual Results:  
72 cpl wrap occurs for the pre-saved message, but the new text flows to the edge
and wraps at the window border. 

Expected Results:  
All text should have wrapped at the end of the window, not the 72 limit. This is
standard for plain text mail.
