Sorry. If it's any consolation then I'll likely be completely without 
internet for the next 2-3 days (starting tomorrow).

The problem is that the reflowing done for quoted text only really works 
for fixed width fonts. But this is purely a cosmetic problem in the 
composer itself. The email you send will not be like this. It'll wrap 
(or not wrap) lines correctly for both plain text and HTML parts.
