Most of my received email is formatted ok, but occasionally I get one where the message is one long sentence and it displays as one long horizontal line, necessitating a lot of scrolling to read. The last person to complain about this did not receive a reply. Is there any chance this could be implemented soon?

HTML is a formatting language. Thunderbird can accommodate some errors, but not all. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, I'm partly wrong. Many emails received DO wrap the words so the message stays in the window. But rarely I get one that does NOT. .... Just discovered how to fix it. When the message is Viewed at either HTML setting, it is one long line. At Plain Text it wraps properly. Most messages have no problem being wrapped. Wonder what's unusual about this one? I don't want to view ALL my mail as Plain Text.

This particular message was an acknowledgement from the Ontario Government to a message I sent them. I'm surprised there would be HTML in it at all. Now I have to wait to see if they answer my mail and if so is it also messed up. Sigh. My tax dollars at work.
