Talk:Thunderbird:Collected User Requests

Some things I'd like to see in Thunderbird (after trying to get my mother to move over from OE):

- Improve inline forwarding of e-mails: either allow a "quoted" style (as Evolution does), or reduce the quantity of message header cruft placed in the message text.

- Improve printing of e-mails. Again, reduce the message header cruft that is included with printouts. Mom prints a lot of e-mails for Dad (who won't touch the computer himself), and gets frustrated by a 10-line message printing out on 2 pages because the printout includes cruft such as every server that received the message as it transited the net.

- Improve layout for printing addressbook. A 4 page address book imported from OE prints out as 17 pages in TB.

Overall, great work guys, but it still needs some work for the techno-challenged like my mom (who are arguably the ones in most need of a solid, secure e-mail app).

Plain text messages - word wrap guide

I hardly ever send html mail, I use plain text.

I have a problem when creating the message - I sometimes write lines longer than the wrap limit - which results in horrible formatting when a message gets sent.

Would it be possible to have a visual indicator for the wrap limit when editing messages? (Netscape Communicator v4 used to do this).
