Hi all

When I type my emails on my laptop the text takes up the entire screen and then drops down to the next line (as normal)

However when they arrive at the recipient the lines are a lot shorter, its almost as if half the text on the line has been cut and dropped down to the line below. In theory if I type a 10 line email the recipient might receive a 20 line email with each line being cut in half. Almost as if typing on a cellphone where messages are short across but long downwards, but we are both using laptops. The recipient does not have this problem when receiving mails from others.

I am using a Mac.

Any advice please?

What is the value of mailnews.wraplength in Config. editor, in Preferences/General/Indexing? A value of 0 (zero) makes plain text messages wrap to the window width. If the value isn't 0, change it and see if it makes a difference to received mail.
