How to configure OSX Mavericks 10.9 Mail to Text Wrap / Word Wrap

Fresh install of 10.9 Mavericks.

Having trouble with OSX Mail where text is not text wrapping / word wrapping to the size of the window. This happens in the preview pane, as well as if an email is double clicked and opened in its own window. In order to read the email, you must scroll right to the end of each line. The text as in previous versions of the OS wrap to the size of the window so you do not have to scroll horizontally, only vertically.

I have upgraded a second computer with the same problem.

This seems to be for all accounts (Google Apps) as well as icloud accounts.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

changed my fixed width-font to savoy to Savoye LET. It was the only font that would wrap my font. I hope this works for you as well. Good luck.
