Yes ; this seems like the problem the email editor is either mis-configured or being mis-used so my fragmented offerings whilst not what I intend, are my fault. Eventually I may understand the problem fully and if a solution , necessarrily involves moving to another email client, adding processing to the output of the editor etc , I may consider that. But in the interim about all I can offer is reduced or zero emails ; or just simply unsubscribe.

Rohan, I'd hate to see you unsubscribe for as Craig said at the beginning of this thread "you usually have something interesting and worthwhile to say". I do sincerely hope that you've not taken the efforts proffered in this thread to heart as I genuinely believe that we've been trying to help. To that end I'm writing this reply from the SeaMonkey email client (albeit the portable app version running on my work supplied Win 7 laptop). It's SeaMonkey version 2.33.1. It does look remarkably like Thunderbird. I've set it to edit in plain text by default and I'm cc'ing this to my work account to see what it looks like. So I've had a quick look through the preferences of the SeaMonkey client software. (Edit -> Preferences... -> Mail & Newsgroups) I can see the following might be relevant. - Message Display - Plain text messages Wrap text to fit window width - is checked by default - Composition - General Wrap plain text messages at [72] characters - is the default setting (which as i type has caused this line to wrap in the window in front of me and which is much wider than 72 chars). What are you equivalent settings? Regards, Colin.
