Dare I say it, KMail has also been doing the Right Thing for a
long time. It will only line wrap things that you insert by
typing; pastes are left untouched.
It seems that of all the popular mail clients only Thunderbird has
this problem. AFAICT it's impossible to make it DTRT with inline
patches and even if it is the fact that most users get it wrong
points to a serious usability/UI issue.
Would a patch to add "Don't use Thunderbird/Mozilla Mail" to
SubmittingPatches be accepted? Then we can point the Mozilla
developers at it (they have shown zero interest in fixing the problem
so far) and hopefully this will light a fire under someone.
I would second that patch.
I would NAK such a patch.
Andrew Morton described a way to do it, some method using x cut buffers,
IIRC.
The best thing to do is use a custom script, though. Other mailers can
be annoying as well, with regards to the References header, for example.
And pine is awful, encoding plain text as base64.
