Subject: [PATCH 5/6] git-format-patch.txt: Add to Thunderbird configuration
Message-ID: <5251CD53.10204@ramsay1.demon.co.uk>

```

The Thunderbird section of the 'MUA-specific hints' contains three
different approaches to setting up the mail client to leave patch
emails unmolested. The second approach (configuration) has a step
missing when configuring the composition window not to wrap. In
particular, the "mailnews.wraplength" configuration variable needs
to be set to zero. Update the documentation to add the missing
setting.
