Looking at the history, the ancestor of this extension was added to the documentation in commit e0e34e977a7c ("Documentation/email-clients.txt: update Thunderbird docs with wordwrap plugin") but then removed in commit f9a0974d3f70 ("Documentation: update thunderbird email client settings"). Extend the paragraph on Thunderbird's mailnews.wraplength register to mention the existence of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension. The goal is not to create a war on what is the best option so make it clear that this is an alternative.
