Forwarded text in emails is not wrapping - how do I fix this?
Just moved to Thunderbird. When I forward an email, the forwarded text does not word-wrap. The new email text wraps fine. This behaviour seems to be general, and I can find no reference to it in "Help". Is it a bug?

this forwarded text was originally one single line and send as plain text between my accounts

It doesn't show here but when I entered the single line and send it to myself as plain text it looked wrapped. But wasn't. The received mail did not contain CR LF thou it viewed as wrapped I forwarded this (still as plain text) and both the forwarded send-copy and the second received mail had CR LF
So my experience is the opposite it does wrap and it adds CR LF when forwarded even if there were non to begin with

Belated Thanks, Gnospen. I suspect the answer is in that link you sent, which I will dig through! I've not in fact noticed the problem much since I first posted.
