I don't wish to belabor this too much.  It is off topic and I just 
thought someone with Thunderbird experience might have a quick answer. 
This issue is not on reading messages, that always wraps lines so they 
are viewable.  It is the quoted text in the reply that will not be 
wrapped if it is not broken in the received message.  Very odd....
