A bit off topic, but I find Thunderbird's wrapping to be atrocious. Which is sad, because I find it quite nice for reading mail. It seems that you can only enable it or disable it globally. There is no way to disable it for parts of your message, e.g., code blocks which we commonly share. That is pretty much the entire reason I send mail from Gnus in Emacs. >From there I can easily work around `auto-fill-mode` in sections of text that I don't want wrapped. Or just use `fill-region` and `fill-paragraph` on sections that I want wrapped. When I started contributing to Gnulib and using mailing lists often I used external-editor-revived [2], which worked well. It is a bit of a chore to setup, though. I would be happy to find out of I am simply missing a configuration in Thunderbird. Collin [1] https://www.gnus.org/manual.html [2] https://github.com/Frederick888/external-editor-revived
