With the latest versions of Thunderbird, when I click on an email to open it or more often reply to it in a separate window, the email sometimes expands its width to the full width of my screen and beyond. It appears to happen when the prior email I am responding to or simple opening has wide formatting features of some kind. This problem did not exist before and has made it very difficult to use TB. Many thanks, Joe Alsop. joe@alsop.com

If a message doesn't wrap when you reply, Edit/Rewrap (Ctrl+R) should help. There's no equivalent option for received mail, but View/Message Body As set to Plain Text is worth trying.

Thanks. Unfortunately neither measures mentioned solve the problem. This all started when there was a Thunderbird version which changed the look one to two revs ago. Possibly my version of Thunderbird on a Mac has become corrupted and I should uninstall and reinstall? There is another minor annoyance which I could point out, but having messages occupy two screens with no way to resize the width has rendered Thunderbird virtually impossible to be productive with.
