322210 - Word wrap improvement when composing tb mails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 86607

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Rohnny]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686; en) Opera 8.51
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0.7

I have had some problems with wordwrapping in TB 1.0.7. When composing a mail and setting word wrap to eg. 72, it wrapped correctly in the composer window, but the sent mail didnt wrap at all (only at end of window). I found this to be very annoying. After some googling I found out that modifying prefs.js in the thunderbird user profile to include this line:

user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);

..fixed the problem. 

What I am asking for is a simple checkbox (GUI) in preferences to turn this functionality on/off. Most of the time I want word wrapping automatically, but sometimes it is nice to send mail without it, eg. when including some sort of tabular data in the mail. I hope some of you thunderbird developers agree in this! :) I belive this would be a nice functionlity for the thunderbird community out there.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set word-wrapping to eg. 72.
2. compose a plain text mail and send it.
3. look at the sent mail. It does not wrap.
