I know that Thunderbird is "the future" but Mozilla's mailnews client is nice, stable and mature and should be considered. A lot of the rough edges of TB don't exist in Mozilla.

Also, I'm not sure about TB but Mozilla can be told how many columns to wrap and if you set it to 0, then it turns line wrapping off. Unfortunately this is a global setting. I agree that it would be cool to be able to turn off wrapping for just a section of text. Even better would be if there was a setting to prompt the user before wrapping text.

that reminds me, there is a drop down in any mail message that you send in evolution, that allows you to adjusting the wraping for a portion of text. I choose preformatted when I want to send code to some one. This kills any wraping, otherwise wrping in the norm.
