Sure, but the default wrapping is wrong for many of us and wrong
for IETF email.  Thunderbird needs to provide an option to wrap at
a given column by default.

Unfortunately there's some stuff going around that line
wrapping with hard line terminations is retrograde and goes
back to punch cards.  I guess that's probably true but
aside from the fact that I'm retrograde and go back to
punch cards, myself, application line wrapping and flowed
text don't deal well (yet) with multiple character sets,
fonts, etc. and I'll take readability over application
purity every single time.
