From 4971ca2007e3858171982c286421ac1af1d624a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Mailhol Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:46:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: process: email-client: add Thunderbird "Toggle Line Wrap" extension MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit While reading the git-format-patch manpages [1], I discovered the existence of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension for Thunderbird which I found rather convenient. Looking at the history, the ancestor of this extension was added to the documentation in commit e0e34e977a7c ("Documentation/email-clients.txt: update Thunderbird docs with wordwrap plugin") but then removed in commit f9a0974d3f70 ("Documentation: update thunderbird email client settings"). Extend the paragraph on Thunderbird's mailnews.wraplength register to mention the existence of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension. The goal is not to create a war on what is the best option so make it clear that this is just an alternative.
