Hello, Most received emails word wrap in Thunderbird, but a small proportion overflow the right side of the viewport. Is there anything I can do to make them wrap? Is there anything I can ask the senders to do to eliminate the horizontal scroll bar? Alan.

Chosen solution

As a workaround to read unwrapped messages, click Forward, then Ctrl+R to wrap the text in the new window, discard when finished.
