Works on mine. YMMV

The thing is, I'm using Thunderbird 3.0b2. There is no fifth tab.
When I'm composing a post, it _does_ wrap in the window. But then when
I post it and read my own posts, it's not at all wrapped. Which seems
really silly.

Yes. Thunderbird reads the wrapped text and attempts to automatically
"unwrap" it for display purposes. (If you hit reply, you'll see the
unaltered version.) I don't know if there's a way to turn that off...

I just assumed it would do the wrapping when I hit reply.
So you're saying my messages on the server really are wrapped? If
that's the case, I'm slightly happy. I'd still like it not to dewrap
when displaying, though.

Actually, I didn't know that either, but if you check the source of the
message (Ctrl + U when the message is selected), you can see that it is
indeed wrapped.
So that's one more case of software trying to be clever when no one
asked ;-)

Or check the web view. (This newsgroup is now on that.) You'll see it's
all wrapped. (I think this might even be a protocol requirement...)

SMTP limits lines to about 1K IIRC.
MIME limits base64 and qp lines to 72 or 76 characters or so but has ways of
putting in soft newlines.
(I'm still amused every time I realize there are fundamental boundaries in
modern software caused by the physical size of cash register drawers from
100 years ago.)
