messages in HTML format".

user_pref("mailnews.wraplength", 0);

user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);

- You need to get Thunderbird into preformat mode:

"Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject line.

. If you compose in text by default, you have to tell it to compose a new
|
|
||||||
message in HTML (just as a one-off), and then force it from there back to
|
|
||||||
text, else it will wrap lines. To do this, use shift-click on the Write
|
|
||||||
icon to compose to get HTML compose mode, then select "Preformat" from

the drop-down box just under the subject line.

Go to "edit->preferences->advanced->config editor" to bring up the
|
||||||
|
thunderbird's registry editor, and set "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed" to
|
||||||
|
"false".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Enable "preformat" mode: Shft-click on the Write icon to bring up the HTML
|
||||||
|
composer, select "Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject
|
||||||
|
line, then close the message without saving. (This setting also applies to
|
||||||
|
the text composer, but the only control for it is in the HTML composer.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Install the "toggle wordwrap" extension. Download the file from:
|
||||||
|
https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/2351/
|
||||||
|
Then go to "tools->add ons", select "install" at the bottom of the screen,
|
||||||
|
and browse to where you saved the .xul file. This adds an "Enable
|
||||||
|
Wordwrap" entry under the Options menu of the message composer.
