When composing an email, the lines don't automatically return to the next line
As I'm typing a message, the line goes on endlessly without automatically returning to the next line. How do I get it to automatically insert a carriage return?

Well, you don't really want a carriage return. You could put one of those in yourself, but it's a poor way to do it, since it fixes the line length and that may not suit your correspondent.
Go to Tools|Options|Advanced|General
Click on the button labelled Config Editor
If there is a warning, say you'll be careful.
In the window that appears, type wrap into the search box at the top. You should see these two below (amongst others) and I think they both need to be set to true.
mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width mail.wrap_long_lines
If either is set to false, double-click it to toggle it to true.
Close the window and back out back to Thunderbird's main window. If you changed anything, I'd recommend closing and restarting Thunderbird to make sure it uses the new value of the setting
