Bug#517140: Option for wrapping text messages has no effect

[Debian]

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.19-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Please refer to bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477217
i opened at mozilla.

In every mail written with icedove the text is wrapped at 65 characters.


Again i must find out that this bug only exists in icedove and not in thunderbird.
I respect the reasons for the special version of thunderbird now named icedove, but
it is not good if there are some bugs or unexpected errors in the normal usage.
It is now the second bug i opened at thunderbird which belongs to icedove only.

So i really think about using the original thunderbird instead.
But it would be better to have a 64bit version of icedove running without such
problems.

Thank you!
