Hmm, sorry, don't have a Mac to try it on, so no idea where the
Preferences are on that version. It is supposed to have the Config
editor somewhere, though, keep searching? The Mozilla docs are hopeless,
I just checked. I wouldn't have found the setting for my Linux version
if I had relied on them.
Another workaround is to use the Edit->Rewrap command after you have
typed the message, before sending it. With the caveat, again, that it
may not be there on a Mac.
