Bug Description

In received emails, the text does not wrap to the window. When opened in a new window it does not either. There are no horizontal scroll bars. There is no setting anywhere for it, but then again who needs a setting for something that should be native behavior.

When composing a message, I can set it to wrap the text from the format menu (It should be the default), and it works for the message I am writing, but not on the original message that I am replying to below it.

I have to copy longer messages, and paste them into a text editor, in order to read them.

Ubuntu 15.10

Executable: /usr/bin/evolution
Package: /usr/bin/evolution

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
