I have these lines in user.js in my Thunderbird profile directory:
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);

Thanks.

I've only changed the "mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support"
setting to 'true' like you and it seems to have had the desired effect
on a testing ng. Hopefully it will do the same on this ng :)

My "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed" setting is still on the default of
'true' at the moment.

Well, here goes...

Well it worked, but as the first setting suggests it's simply a display
setting so all unwrapped posts now end up wrapped eventhough they may
not be.

So yeah, I guess setting both options as you have is the optimal solution.

Thanks again, Paul.
