After all these years, I finally found that I was still experiencing this bug (see my comment 88) because of the addon Enigmail, that automatically sets "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed" to "false".

The implication of this is that the line wrapping gets screwed up when I edit a paragraph. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new message and type in some 100 characters (no line breaks). 2. Save the message. 3. Open the message for editing from the Drafts folder and append a new word at the end of the first line. Result: The paragraph is not wrapped correctly; the appended word is on a line by itself despite not being the last word of the paragraph. Expected result: The appended word should not be on a line by itself since it is not the last word in the paragraph.
