Well, here's a partial answer to one of my questions. Posting it here in the hopes it helps others, too.

Copied from here: http://brianpuccio.net/old/node/view/169 : I found out how to get rid of the on the fly, automagic adjusting of the word wrap in plain text emails. I knew it was called flowed format but I wasn't sure how to turn it off. Yes, I am aware of the advantages it offers, but it also makes me look like an idiot when posting to the mailing lists. So I added these two lines to my prefs.js file: user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true); user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false); -- Kevin B.
