   Thunderbird can actually set the line length in FORWARDED messages.   
   So what I do for the same problem is I use that hidden feature.   
      
   1. You compose the message but before you send it out   
   2. You forward it to yourself first   
   3. Then you copy what was forwarded to the original & send it out   
      
   Unfortunately for whatever reason you can't just pretend to forward.   
   You have to actually receive your own forwarded message to get the benefit   
   of the hidden feature in Thunderbird to compose short line lengths.   
      
   Someday Thunderbird developers will learn not everyone wants html to do all   
   their formatting for them but that day is still a long ways away.
