Be aware there is a maximum line length issue in one or more of the smtp RFCs. Long paragraphs of text can exceed that maximum and are summarily truncated. Its rather long, and the exact number of characters escapes me at the moment, but the limit is still there.
Microsoft got burned by this some years ago when they started encouraging the use of this so called flowed text in Exchange. They fixed exchange to work around this limit but you will still see occasional TL;DR wall-of-text paragraphs that get truncated in emails.
So its nice when it works but it doesn't always work.
Well, Thunderbird uses flowed text for paragraphs, that's certain. I think it normally flows and truncates paragraph text, but does leaves quoted text the same way it was. Maybe it works around by using soft returns, however they are called.
