Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an e-mail with several long paragraphs of text. 2. Reply quoted Actual Results: Each of the long paragraphs of text will appear in the message window as single long lines. Expected Results: Quoted text should wrap in the compose window. This was not a problem with an earlier version of 2.0; I beleive that message wrapping was broken by one of the updates after 2.0.0.10.

I'll confirm this bug. I've seen in in various versions of 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 on both Mac and Linux. It does not happen all of the time, but sporadically; that is, sometimes the quoted text wraps and sometimes it doesn't. Whether it wraps or not seems to be specific to the message sender I'm replying to, so it has something to to with the composition of the recieved text, but I can't tell what. To reiterate: this issue has definitely not been fixed in 3.0, and I believe I've reproduced it in 3.1 as well.

I'm unable to have the compose window wrap text at all, period. Thunderbird Version 3.0.5. Happens when composing any email in the Compose window, regardless of the number of characters on a single line. Word wrap is set to window size, which is substantial given that it is on a 24" monitor, however it never wraps without using a return. I can confirm that this is an issue, however I'm not entirely sure that this problem is the same as the one I'm seeing.

I can confirm in Thunderbird 3.1 on Mac OSX. Quoted text never seems to wrap for me -- I can reproduce this bug consistently. My email is handled through an MS Exchange server with IMAP, and most messages I receive are sent by Outlook users. When I look at the source for a typical message, I see the following: ---------- [other mail headers omitted] Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 I agree that you should use a temporary, only if it is to use an idiom and = bolster readability. =20 ---------- If I reply to this message, the above text will be quoted, but not properly wrapped. It will appear as: > I agree that you should use a temporary, only if it is to use an idiom and bolster readability. What I expect to see is: > I agree that you should use a temporary, only if it is to use an idiom and > bolster readability. I've also seen this occur on messages encoded with base64 ("Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"). Unfortunately I haven't found a similar example I can publish. :/ Hope this helps.

This is still broken in the latest stable version of Thunderbird.
