Email: Force plain text and word wrap at 72, does not work
I have the same issue as this year-old, unanswered thread: [wrap sent message view?]
What I want: I want all my sent e-mail messaged to by default be written and formatted as:
- Plain text
- Fixed width
- Automatically line break/word wrap (unsure of the correct eng. term), at 72 characters
- I also want to SEE the 72-character line break/inline WHILE I COMPOSE the message, no matter the size of my e-mail composing window (I have a large monitor)
What I have done:
- Found the mailnews.wraplength setting in config editor, and set it to 72 (it was already on 72)
- Set Composition to: Font: Fixed width, Sending format: Only Plain Text
The issue:
- When creating a new email, the "font" setting i Fixed width
- When pasting/replying to that same e-mail, everything goes to variable width, calibri, other formatting
- In any case, the TEXT DOES NOT WORD WRAP/LINE BREAK AT 72 CHARACTERS
I have also tried troubleshooting mode.
PLEASE help.

If you set mailnews.wraplength to 72, or any other non-zero value, the text in the message composer won't wrap to that unless the composition format is plain text (different from sending format). If HTML is the default format in Account Settings, Composition & Addressing, the format can be changed to plain text for individual messages by holding Shift when clicking Write or Reply. Same if the default is plain text, holding Shift will switch to html.
