Email composer takes less than half page
Dear all, for a long time I am encountering a problem when composing an email. The horizontal space that I can use to write the body of the email is limited to less then half page as you can see from the picture attached. How can I fix that? Thank you.

It would seem you have a setting that limits the width to 72 characters.
As there is no 'Formatting Bar' visible, I'm assuming you are composing emails in 'Plain Text' mode.

Menu icon > Options > Advanced > 'General' tab click on 'Config editor' button In top search Type: wrap
- mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width default boolean false
- plain_text.wrap_long_lines default boolean false
Set those two lines to 'True' - double click on line to toggle the value.
close window and click on OK Test a new Write message.
If the above changes in 'Config Editor still does not do exactly as required, access via 'Config Editor' button again
Remove the '72' setting and enter 0 (zero)
- mailnews.wraplength; 72
Open a new 'Write' message and report back on results.

Ok, the entry mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width doesn't exist but setting the other two seems to have solved the problem. Many thanks.
