Title:
  when responding to email, the original text is very long line, no line
  wrap

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using evolution email.

  This does not happen for every email so I am thinking it may be this
  sender is using some email program that evolution does not like.

  When I receive email, it is formatted on multiple lines.
  If I want to respond to that email, the original text is included in my email.
  But the original text instead staying formatted expands into a single long line.

  That means it would be difficult for receivers to read it if some of them are not the original writer that could be a problem. Plus I look like an incompetent bcs my emails are on a single line. It is to be noted that my own text is nicely line wrapped to some reasonable text. It is
  only the original text that looses any formatting.

  --thanks for listening.
  ubuntu release 11.04
  evolution 2.32.2
  expect:
  I would expect that the original enclosed text in the response would stay as formatted as it was when it arrived.
  What happened:
  The included original text was just a single long line.
  Evolution Preferences:
  Setting to no HTML, use text only. Setting, for response, enclose original email in the body.
