Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 2.0.0.19 (20090105) After I've saved a plain text email as draft, when I reopen it for edition, the text is wrapped, so if I change the paragraphs content, I need to rearrange the lines before sending the email. "Text wrapping" should be made just before sending the email and shouldn't be applied to drafts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Thunderbird, write a new plain text email and put few paragraphs in the textarea. 2. Save this email as draft and close its window. 3. Go to the "Drafts" directory, click right on the previous saved draft and choose "Edit As New...". Actual Results: The email is wrapped to ?? characters (?? represents the value in Preferences > Composition > General > Wrap plain text messages at ?? characters). So if we modify the text, the paragraphs have bad line breaks. Example: Say we have written this paragraph in the plain text email and we have saved it as draft. When we reopen for edition the draft, the text is wrapped: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing mauris dictum, erat id fermentum faucibus; duipurus blandit lectu, et sollicitudin purus qua quis quam libero. Pede bibendum in, dapibus sit amet, intefis. Say we want to modify this text before sending it. We add some words: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing aWordAdded mauris dictum, erat id fermentum faucibus; duipurus anotherWordAdded blandit lectu, et sollicitudin purus qua quis quam libero. Pede bibendum in, dapibus sit amet, intefis. The line breaks are now bad and we must rearrange the lines. Expected Results: The draft shouldn't be wrapped because the text isn't definitive. A draft is subject to change. An email should be wrapped just when we send it.
