Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: 

I received a message with a very long email address in the To: header field.  The name and address total 209 characters.  The message and header do not wrap.  But worse, a horizontal scroll bar doesn't appear so I can't read the entire message text.  This happens in both the 3-pane view and when the message is opened in a separate window.  The only way I could find to read the message was to open the source using Ctrl-U.  I was able to reproduce the error by sending myself an email with a very long address in the CC: field.  I get the error in Thunderbird 1.0.5, Thunderbird 1.0.7, and Netscape 7.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself an email with a very long address in the To or CC field, such as:

veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfirstname evenlongerveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylonglastname <ohmygoshthisaddressiswaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaytoolongwhatiswrongwiththemicrosoftemailproductthatgeneratedtheaddressintheemailthatigotthatwasaboutthislong@example.com>

Also include enough text to see the missing word wrap.

2. Wait until the email shows up in your inbox.

3. Open it.
Actual Results:  
The message text is not wrapped.  I can't scroll to read it all.

Expected Results:  
The text should wrap.  And even if it doesn't, a horizontal scroll bar should appear to let me read it all.

No extensions or themes installed.
