           Summary: composer hard wraps at window border
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.4
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lars.dieckow at googlemail.com


Version:           1.12.4 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

To reproduce:
1. Enable option Word wrap at column 78. (This is set by default.)
2. Copy 5 long paragraphs of text, for example from
<http://lipsum.com/feed/html>.
3. Paste the text into a new message window.
4. Resize the window, make it narrow so that about 30-40 characters fit in the
composer window.
5. Save message as draft.
6. Go to drafts folder and visually inspect the message, perhaps also message
sourcecode.

Expected behaviour:
Message text wraps at column 78.

Actual behaviour:
Message text wraps at whereever the window border was.

Rationale:
I was very emberassed when I found out that my mail program composed and sent
out such an unsightly message. The window border should only ever wrap text for
*reading*, never for *composing*.
