With pref set to use plain text mail, the compose window doesn't fully draw
(background doesn't show up), and the body can't be typed in. The console window
shows this after the "new msg" button is clicked:

initalizing the editor app core
JavaScript error: uncaught exception: Component returned failure code:
0x80004001 [nsIEditorShell.wrapColumn, {file:
file:////mozilla/6_14/package/chrome/messengercompose/content/default/messengercompose.xul,
line: 71}]


This is on the June 14 Linux build (from sweetlou). It worked on Friday (Jun11).
I'm downloading Mac right now to check it, but that may take a while...will add
a [PP] to the summary if it turns out to be just Linux....

Summary: Can't get plain text (email) compose window → [QA Blocker] Can't get plain text (email) compose window
Due to this bug, I cannot test Japanese mail send which is currently
working only under Plain text mail. I accordingly se the severity
level to blocker. There is also an M7 bug verification riding on this
bug.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
I have checked in a fix for catching the execption and making the compose work
in plain text. But ender has a problem with setting the wrapColumn (#8143) that
makes the wrapping broken.
QA: if you want to be able to test plain text today and don't wait for
tomorrow's build, just remove the line "window.editorShell.wrapColumn =
msgCompose.wrapLength" in the file MsgComposeCommands.js.
Hardware: Other → All
Just for neatness and statistics' sake, I'm changing the platform to "all,"
since I confirmed its existence on the Mac, too.
