This can be avoided. Either use Alt+L to format the paragraph or
(better if you have several paragraphs to paste) use Edit/Paste
Formatted (Shift+Ctrl+Ins).

AFAIK it is part of the netiquette to limit the characters on one line
to be no more than 65 (RFC 1855). There might be rules talking about
slightly different limits (like 80 characters or so) but it certainly
is below 1024 ;-)

As you can see in the Editor Preferences TB wraps your text at 70
chracters a line (this number can be changed). However Auto-wrap
(another option) works only on typed text. Pasted text needs either to
be "Pasted formatted" or formatted later.
TB, however, allows you to have longer lines. And it won't change your
e-mail after you send it (like e.g. Outlook Express does), which is a
very good thing. There might be instances when you would want to have
a line longer than the limit (for exapmle ion order to have a
clickable URL - TB does by default not auto-wrap URLs).
I agree that it was sort of a pain when pasting text consisting of a
lot of paragraphs and formatting each one individually. But (I believe
since versoon 1.48?) there is the option to "Paste formatted" which
avoids these problems.
Regards,
David
