Re: Text wrapping in New Message Window

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The text doesn't wrap until it goes to the Outbox. Send yourself a message and it should look OK when you get it, as well as in Sent Items.

My Outlook Express 6. has no problems whatsoever, except for one minor detail.
In Tools---->Options---->Send---->Plain Text Setting
it says "Automatically wrap text at 76 characters when sending"
Yet when I type in New Message Window from left to right, I could type one row of characters indefinitely, unless I hit the Enter key, because once the letters reach the right side of the window, a slide bar appears at the bottom, and the row just continues.
Is this normal? I think initially it wasn't lika that: the letters used to "transfer" to the left side, starting a new row.
Lately I have been resizing manually the size of the window, could it be the reason.
Is there a default size for the New Message Window?
