Why does mail create emails on one line?

I have noticed that when composing an email my text will show up on one long line. This is very annoying especailly when you have scroll to the right to read your email. Why does mail do this? Why isn't the app moving the text to the next line?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

I have seen this problem before, but only on emails I am replying to.


Some email apps seem to have a hard line width encoded in them. (80 characters, for example.) So when replying to these emails, I have to type to THEIR line width limit, not the one on my screen.


I do not have this happen with new emails, or emails from most people. I hope that helps!
