Email won't wrap to window width
Mister....@gmail.com
I'm viewing email with long lines of text. It won't wrap to the window
width, even though I've set to TRUE the switch
Tools->Options->Display->Formatting->PlainTextMessages->WrapTextToFitWindowWidth.
Other switches set to TRUE are mail.wrap_long_lines and
view_source.wrap_long_lines in the panel
Tools->Options->Advanced->General->ConfigEditor. Not that
view_source.wrap_long_lines affects my problem, since I'm not viewing
source, but tried it just in case. In fact, even if I did view the
source for the email, it *still* doesn't wrap. Admittedly, this is a
separate problem, but it will have to be solved some time, so a
solution to wrapping to window width would be appreciated for viewing
both source and nonsource. Thanks for any suggestions on how to get
the wrapping to work.

save message as draft . open it again from Draft folder and check
whether it still gives same problem or not.

Yes, it does. I am viewing incoming email, not composed email, but I
copied it to the Drafts folder anyway. The problem of nonwrapping
persists.

Hi, Phillip,
This works fine if I forward or reply to the message being viewed (I
can perform a rewrap). But I am merely viewing it. There do not seem
to be a corresponding options.
Nir
Goto Tools>Options>Display>Formatting
Check 'warp text to fit window width' option
Restart Thunderbird and check

Yes, it is checked. TB has been restarted many times since checking it.

Edit Menu, there is an item called Rewrap, have you tried it? If not
then try it. To do this, Open your message in the edit window and then
go to:
Edit >> Rewrap
After doing this, please post back so that we know what exactly has
happened.
Good luck.
