287355 - Request: Feature to word wrap included mail in replies

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212465

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Ingemar Nilsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 0.9 (20041127) (thunderbird-0.9-1.fc3.rpm)

I would like a feature to word wrap included mails when composing replies. Gnus
handles this nicely with the M-q (ESC-q) keyboard shortcut. What I mean is a way
to limit the width of a text (not HTML) message to some remommended maximum
width of about 76 characters. Usually included mails are inserted with "> "
prepended to each row, and this makes replies easily hit the right margin,
especially replies with nested includes.

A keyboard shortcut to re-wordwrap inclusions would be nice.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to a mail in text mode (thus, no html)

No, I did not see it. Thanks.

Sorry for bogging down bugzilla with a non-bug.

But it would be nice with a keyboard shortcut. Or is that a customizable option
that I didn't find?

Since the only remaining issue is the keyboard shortcut, I'm going to mark
this as a duplicate of bug 212465.
