User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/522.11.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.3 Safari/522.12.1
Build Identifier: 8.0.0b1

I see Edit -> Rewrap, but it doesn't appear to do anything.  What I really want is to fix broken paragraphs, paragraphs that have line feeds/paragraph markers every 72-80 characters.   In the old version of Eudora one selected the text, held down the option key, and chose Edit -> Unwrap Selection.  It would be nice if one didn't have to hold down the option key to see the menu choice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an email with a long paragraph that's actually chopped up in to lots of paragraphs due to line feeds
2. Select the text or don't.
3. Edit -> Rewrap
4. Nothing happens
Actual Results:  
The paragraph stays broken.

Expected Results:  
Expected result is that Eudora will remove the line feeds/paragraph markers from the paragraph and leave only one, at the end where it belongs, not every 70ish characters.
