Description
Searched for the issue at https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues?q=is%3Aissue and amazingly nothing relevant came up.
Expected behavior
When viewing messages with long lines they should be forced to word-wrap to screen size no matter what the message formatting might say.
Actual behavior
On some messages, notably messages from some web clients, one needs to scroll horizontally to read them.
Steps to reproduce
- Receive an email with long lines sent from a particularly uncompliant MUA
- Open it in k9
- See the lines run over the right border of the phone screen
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.205
Android version: 6.0.1
Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange):
IMAP
