Apple has apparently decided that they don't
need a
line wrap option in their mail client, which I otherwise
very much prefer. Manual line wrap is problematic when
there's no column position indicator.
I switched to Thunderbird for precisely that reason. I really liked OS X's
Mail.app for several years, but it just seemed to become less nice with each
release. I wish they'd learn to just leave stuff the hell alone when it
works well and does everything it needs to do.
