435972 - Sent mails lack automatic line wrapping (e.g. 72 characters) when writing is continued from a draft

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155622

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[johanneswillenborg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Version 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

Thunderbird does not correctly handle messages that are continued from a draft. While line wrapping works as expected when writing a message it does not when a message is saved to "Drafts" and later continued. It seems like only formerly written lines are saved "wrapped" and newly added lines are not handled at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "new" message
2. Write some lines without return
3. Close message and save to "Drafts"
4. Continue message with some more lines and send message
5. Check "Sent" for message or check received message
Actual Results:  
Message is not wrapped correctly.

Expected Results:  
Message should be wrapped after 72 characters (like the saved part of the message is).

Standard (default) theme was used. Standard MacBook was used. Enigmail Add-on used. Error occurs without having installed Enigmail, too.
