Not for "linewrapping", but the *other* two questions are. NOTE: Icedove and Thunderbird are not identical, you don't say which version you have installed, how you have it configured, or what extensions you have installed (it makes a difference). I use Icedove from Mozilla-backports, but even so it's Version 5 whereas Thunderbird is at 11. So lots of differences. Additionally you have plug-ins/extensions to allow for. I have Enigmail installed which changes a lot of formatting options. > > Can the length at which a line is wrapped automatically be adjusted? AFAIK not "automatically", but I'm unsure of what rules you expect "automatic" to follow. That's not an easy one to find just digging through Icedove. You'll probably find the Mozilla online documentation no help there. :-( > I'm inclined to set the auto-wrap length to infinity. Auto-wrapping > is particularly troublesome when it breaks a URI.
