Thunderbird 8.3.1 on Windows 10, doesnt word wrap when printing received (plain Text) emails

With recent updates I have had problems printing emails. I fixed the very small type issue by going into print preview and overriding the 'Shrink to Fit' option with 90%, but find that some emails fail to WordWrap so I loose the end of lines. I have one message where it wraps some text but not all. By pretending to reply I discovered that the text that did not reply was formatted as 'Preformat', changing each line to Paragraph or bodytext does then wrap, but that's not practicable if you just want to print an incoming email. The Preformat text was an forwarded (automated) email from a government agency so I cannot send image. I'm printing problem emails from a different program at present.
