Yes, it is plain text, but the word-wrapping of the text is completely 
broken, as you should be able to see below:

Apart from the leading ">" used for quoting, what you see above is what 
I see in the original email.

Unfortunately I don't know how to solve this. I don't use Gmail, and 
don't now whether it has something to do with Gmail or Thunderbird.

Wait... I have a thought... 

Your email has a header:

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed"


The format="flowed" is probably the bit that is screwing up the 
formatting. Flowed formatting is exactly what you want for ordinary 
text, paragraphs and sentences, but it is exactly what you DON'T want 
for poetry and programming code, where line breaks are important.

If you look through the preferences and settings for Thunderbird, you 
will probably find something to control how lines are formatted.

P.S. Please don't send vast mountains of text to the list while you're 
trying settings out. Just two or three lines is enough to see whether 
they get word-wrapped or not.


Thanks,
