Great add-on.

May I know whether it's possible to disable word wrap by default as I use External Editor most of the time? I tried setting mailnews.wraplength=0 but then the add-on can no longer enable word wrap. Tweaking mail.wrap_long_lines and plain_text.wrap_long_lines didn't help, either.

To my understanding (I've only inherited the code), the add-on needs a non-zero setting when opening the editor in order to apply a concrete value for enabling the wrapping. Could be changed but would require to configure in the add-on what the wrap length should be. For that, we lack infrastructure so far. Same goes for pre-setting the add-on to "disabled" state. Contributions would be welcome, I'm currently lacking time for this.

UPDATE: This feature, control over the wrapping default when opening the editor, is now supported with the successor of this addon (https://addons.thunderbird.net/de/thunderbird/addon/toggle-line-wrap)
