I now get error ... text is longer than 79 characters and fails to send.

If I put in some line breaks or delete long lines it works.

Never had this before - so some form of line wrap command must be turned
off ... anybody know where it is ?

Not seen that yet... what version are you on?

As a workaround, does CTRL+R work to reformat everything?

Ok just tried .. if you do a select All ... then CTRL+R it reformats OK.

Never had this problem until this new install.

I'll ping a Q onto Mozilla support

In the meantime, install an older version. we had some issues on firefox
recently on xp, and it turned out some of the advanced settings had been
optimised for multi core processors making things unusable in single core
machines.

It's a bloody nuisance this line length limit thing in Thunderbox. I
can't see why it does it. What's it got to do with Thunderbox how long
the lines are? It wouldn't be too bad but there's two separate error
boxes flashing away when it happens and I have to cancel them both then
wait a while until it all gets its marbles back.

It was that Mark Carver who put me onto Thunderbox, so it's all his fault.

What line length limit thing? I'm a fairly intensive Thunderbird (I
assume that's what you meant) user and I had no idea there was any line
length limit. Am I missing something?

Go back to version 28ish.
I don't use it but it seems like something went weird after that according
to others.

I'm on 31.2.0 certainly happening for me.

I can't find any option that sets line length or line wrap.

I'm using icedove(a thunderbird) 24.5.0 on debian testing.
I've just disabled mail.wrap_long_lines

Go to Tools - Options - Advanced and click on Config Editor at the bottom,
accept the warning and enter wrap in the filter box, this will show the settings
you can play with.

Fault must depend on content ... just happened now ... there is a thread
started today " Has anyone built a lightbox?"

I did a follow up ... lines goe way past 79 characters, and get the
error msg.
CT+R sorts it but this is very strange.
