My email does something similar (with the long lines like there are no
spaces) when I reply to some email. Why it doesn't do it to all of them
- I don't know. When it does do it, I select the text (this is in the
composition window) and choose Options - Rewrap. I know that's not
fixing your problem permanently, but it might help until you find out
what is causing it to do the funky stuff in the first place.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
