Using Thunderbird 3.1.10 setting mail.wrap_long_lines to false somehow doesn't stop Thunderbird from wrapping.

Just FYI, I'm using the "Toggle Word Wrap" [1] add-on which works great for me when sending patches via Thunderbird. Moreover, it allows to easily toggle wrapping on a mail-by-mail basis.
