My mail text is also wider than the windows, but it is not only happening in Firefox, but also in the Google Chrome browser. Either this is a problem with GMail and not the browser, or it is a problem in both Firefox and Chrome browsers. Very annying, and Google filters questions from users, so they expect their users to filter hundreds of haystacks to find one little needle. I'd appreciate any insights that could help me overcome this problem. I love GMail, but this problem means it takes much longer to go through mail -- no longer worth the trouble. R. Audibert
