Thunderbird: Auto returning when typing message

Ahoy!
I'm hoping this will be a quick fix. When I type a message in Thunderbird, after about 80 characters the cursor is auto returning to the left and starting another line, hence I'm getting a paragraphed message block that isn't using the whole of the available text box across the whole screen! I have no idea why this is happening, but I hope it may just be a setting correction. Here's a sample of what it's doing (I've just used any characters to show as an example:
rtrwrwyryr y rttywywy ywyywywywey ryeyeey reryeyt3tet 454y45yury y4y44yuy 5yreyryrry y4y4577587 567575i67 i ll7i68u3446 455746644y5y4 y466yryyuu y4646 n 47464644646464646464 747474 464yy g 4y4y yuyuy5y 332336 ii6i645433 46463636363n 3336363 43646 464646.
Thunderbird is limiting the number of characters I can use and then auto returns. Is there a technophone that can help to correct this phenomenon? It would be really appreciated ;o)

This may not be a good idea. See [*] for some reasons. Some of your recipients may see your text all on one line and have to scroll.
Better IHMO is to keep the default of all "wrap" configs in Config Editor except <br>
<code>mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width</code> <br>
which you would toggle to true if you don't like the wrapping while composing a message.

Or, if you want to send mails in HTML most of the time ([http://email.about.com/od/netiquettetips/qt/When-In-Doubt-Send-Plain-Text-Email-Not-Fancy-Html.htm don't if you are not sure]), then in ''Account Settings > Composition & Addressing'' check ''Compose messages in HTML format'' in which case the cursor won't auto return either.

Auto correct when typing

When typing in iPhone, does the phone recognise certain words after a while? For example, it seems to have stopped trying to correct me when I spell through as thru.

Yes, that's how it works.

Can I shut off auto-correct when typing text messages

When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects. Is there a way to shut this feature off?

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

Problem : Auto Correction when Text Messaging

Ok so i have an iphone 4 and I used it recently on a message board forum. i wanted to respond to a user that posted something and i typed " ^^^^ yea "
well not anytime i text message anyone and want to write "yea" it auto corrects to " ^^^^ yea"
i want to keep auto correct on (to fix typos etc) but i dont want the ^^^^ yea everytime i want to text "yea"
any help ????
thanks!

Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Add New Shortcut and type the phrase and the shortcut you use to type the word. For example, ab would be about. You can go back and delete the shortcuts if you don't want them later.

How to disable auto lookup when typing in address

I don't like the new automatic lookup that happens when I type a web address. For example, if I start typing google.com it comes up with new.google.com. I don't want it to search within the text. I am not one of those people who thinks the address is a search box. I know what address I want to go to. I don't use bookmarks. I just want it to start with the letters I type in (except www).
If I type goo it should come up with www.google.com but not new.google.com.

HI Gregg,
About the only thing you can do for the time being to avoid this is use Private Browsing which you can enable from the Safari Menu Bar. Click Safari/Private Browsing. Safari won't remember pages you visit, search history or your AutoFill information from which Safari fetches data from when you type a url in the address bar.
Providing feedback here will help.

Iphone 5 has long delay 15 sec or more when typing message. recently downloaded new software update

i bought a new iPhone 5s in November. a few days ago I was asked if I wanted to upgrade my software to 7 something, I dont have my phone so I am unable to give you the specific number of the new software. Now I am unable to type unless I wait at great length for each character to show. I will take me three minutes to type a 3 word sentence, in both Text messaging and email. I saw a post from google that I should use reset button. I gone to general settings opened and selected reset all after that I did not have any success. Phishfry60

Please excuse some of the typos. It's late and the browser shut down on a me a few times.

Deleting/ changing auto-completion when typing a web page

When I start to type a web page in the address bar (just www... etc.), a list of old bookmarks comes up, which I don't want. Is there a way to delete or reset these (e.g. a Library file that can be deleted), or a setting somewhere in Preferences that I can change?
Safari 4.0.3
Thanks,
Richard

Greetings,
Contrary to the advice from Carolyn, AutoFill has nothing to do with your problem. When you begin to enter a web address, Safari will suggest possible matches based on your bookmarks and your browsing history. The only way to avoid this is to have no bookmarks and no history, but that seems a bit extreme.
You can also just press the spacebar before you start entering the web address; that will also suppress the autocomplete feature for that entry.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Slow response when typing and/or pulling up new message

I do not have any Add-ons or extensions, so that is not the issue. I have a new computer running Windows 7, so I don't believe that is the issue either. But I have a lot of "hour-glass" time when typing and when clicking on emails to open the message. Is just seems to be responding slow. Is it Thunderbird ... or my computer?

As for Thunderbird, the only relation I could see is in line spell checking. Could you please check your Thunderbird preferences, Composition, Spelling. Does it help to uncheck 'Enable spell check as you type'?
If not, I could imagine this to be related to a virus scanner, or a display driver that is not up to date. You might be able to get an update from it from the manufacturer of your video adapter.

Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?

Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?
I basically want to create a rule that will send an automatically crafted form e-mail to the sender when I receive an e-mail with the subject line "New Swimmer". Is this possible?

Thank you Todd, I was able to get it to work but I do have a few more questions...
1) When I tested this, at the top of the message, before any of the text I created, this showed up: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
2) After the signature line, this showed up: --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/4QAiRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgAAQESAAMAAAABAAEAAAAA AAD/2wBDAAIBAQIBAQICAgICAgICAwUDAwMDAwYEBAMFBwYHBwcGBwcICQsJCAgKCAcHCg0K CgsMDAwMBwkODw0MDgsMDAz/2wBDAQICAgMDAwYDAwYMCAcIDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwM DAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAz/wAARCAC5ApUDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QA HwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQAAAF9AQID AAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3ODk6 Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWm p6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/
(It was actually much longer than that)
Is there anyway that I can get that to go away? I obviously would prefer a nice, cleanly formatted e-mail to be sent just like I would send if I were creating it on the spot.
Thanks,
Evan

When typing in gmail (firefox) or thunderbird, randomly foreign characters will be produced like the keyboard has been set to spanish or french, but it is set to english, and the character encoding is set to what it is supposed to be. Web pages appear correctly.

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that Firefox uses for some menu items
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence

After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".
