I've just noticed that when I forward some messages in Thunderbird
(version 2.0.0.23 ), that the word-wrap is broken and there's no way
to get it rewrap. Anyone else notice this and is there a way to get it
to word-wrap all the time. The problem emails are ones that are
automatically forwarded to my mailbox. When they arrive, they are fine
(wrapped), but when I go to forward them, the text shows up as one
long line. All other emails forward OK.

You can select/highlight that text, then choose 'Rewrap' in the Edit menu. That will give hard line breaks as defined in your prefs by # of characters per line. I think if you also choose Plain Text instead of MIME or formatted, it will wrap to your defaults.

I have a similar problem. I'd like the text in emails to automatically wrap to the width of the window, changing when I make the email window larger or smaller. I think this was the default several generations ago, or in Mozilla suite. Guess I'll have to create my own pref in the Thunderbird config mgr.

As a test, I changed this pref, as in SeaMonkey mail defaults:
mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width    user set    boolean   true
