   Wow. Thanks everyone. I take back all the bad things I said about the   
   Thunderbird developers not knowing how to write a composition tool.   
      
   Changing from   
   mailnews.wraplength = 72   
   mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support	false   
   plain_text.wrap_long_lines	true   
   mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed	true   
      
   Changing to   
   mailnews.wraplength = 72   
   mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support	true   
   plain_text.wrap_long_lines	true   
   mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed	false   
      
   Already made a world of positive difference!   
      
   It's too early to declare the war over, but the first test I ran sure   
   looked like what I wanted which is simply for me to type away with abandon   
   and for Thunderbird to format to an intelligent reasonably sized line   
   lengths.   
      
   I'll test for a few more days under varying conditions, but this is already   
   a huge improvement on what was happening prior to those two changes above.
