Approach #1 (add-on)
592
592
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
593
593
594
-
Install the Toggle Word Wrap add-on that is available from
595
-
https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/toggle-word-wrap/
596
-
It adds a menu entry "Enable Word Wrap" in the composer's "Options" menu
594
+
Install the Toggle Line Wrap add-on that is available from
595
+
https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/toggle-line-wrap
596
+
It adds a button "Line Wrap" to the composer's toolbar
597
597
that you can tick off. Now you can compose the message as you otherwise do
598
598
(cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc), but you have to
599
599
insert line breaks manually in any text that you type.
600
+
601
+
As a bonus feature, the add-on can detect patch text in the composer
602
+
and warns when line wrapping has not yet been turned off.
603
+
604
+
The add-on requires a few tweaks of the advanced configuration
605
+
(about:config). These are listed on the download page.
