(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Peter Anvin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070313 Fedora/1.5.0.10-5.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.10
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070419)

Using the plaintext composer, with send_plaintext_flowed turned off, when responding to a message using format=flowed or text/html, the composer fails to break the lines, and so you end up with each paragraph as a single line, which you have to scroll to the right to be able to even read.  This makes composing the reply more than a little difficutl.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to a message with long paragraphs with HTML or text/html, using the plaintext composer with mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false and mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support=false.

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
See above

Using Fedora Core 6, and the thunderbird-2.0.0.0-1.fc6.remi.x86_64.rpm from http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/fc6.x86_64/
