To beat some sense out of the internal editor, do this:



- Under account settings, composition and addressing, uncheck "Compose

  messages in HTML format".



- Edit your Thunderbird config settings so that it won't use format=flowed.

  Go to "edit->preferences->advanced->config editor" to bring up the

  thunderbird's registry editor, and set "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed" to

  "false".



- Enable "preformat" mode: Shft-click on the Write icon to bring up the HTML

  composer, select "Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject

  line, then close the message without saving.  (This setting also applies to

  the text composer, but the only control for it is in the HTML composer.)

- Disable HTML Format: Set "mail.identity.id1.compose_html" to "false".



- Enable "preformat" mode: Set "editor.quotesPreformatted" to "true".



- Enable UTF8: Set "prefs.converted-to-utf8" to "true".



- Install the "toggle wordwrap" extension.  Download the file from:
