> I don't see the problem with text being typed not wrapping

There is no problem with *newly* typed text. The problem is with the text that
was there in the *original* message (but not the quoted text) - any long
paragraphs become broken into short lines on "Edit as new", "Edit draft".

Steps:

0) Set up Mozilla to use plaintext compose and to wrap long lines.
1) Compose a new message to yourself. Type in a long paragraph that would wrap.
2) Use "Edit as new" on the message.
3) Send right away (w/o editing).

Expected: both copies are displayed identically, with long paragraphs flowing
(e.g. broken into line dynamically according to the window width).
Actual: first copy is displayed with flowed paragraphs, but the second copy is
sent and displayed with paragraphs broken into separate line (e.g. "soft" line
breaks become "hard" ones).

If in steps (1) and (2) you do "Save as Draft" and "Edit traft" instead, the
result will still be the same (paragraphs broken into lines).

If in step (3) you add another long paragraph (w/o touching the original text
that you typed in step (1) ), then the result is *really* ugly - the original
text is broken into lines and the new text is shown flowed!
