That's because the lines aren't wrapped and TB! window wraps the lines
for you so reading is easier. OTOH, the editor doesn't wrap lines like
that. It will show the genuine formatting of the text which is as a
long line.

If you wish to re-flow all their messages paragraphs automatically,
you need to use a complex set of macros in your templates. It's been
discussed in this thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/msg44735.html

Why all this trouble?

Most, if not all, e-mail editors do not reflow the original text when
you hit reply. They merely soft wrap it. They actually reflow it upon
sending the message. TB! doesn't reflow upon sending, since this can
cause problems with your text formatting. You, the sender, do not see
the problem since it occurs after the message disappears from your
screen.

Have you looked via the menus at the 'Message/Print Setup'
configuration panel? You can adjust your print options from there.
