Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205)
The text: <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
shows up in email sent from my Thunderbird software.
Sending mail from Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205)
to Outlook Express v. 6.00.2800.1123
Occurred only when content from Microsoft Word document (version 2000 SP3) was
pasted into Thunderbird "Write" window and sent. Unexpected text appeared in
the email when received in Outlook Express, located between paragraphs.
Problem occurs only if sending as HTML, and only if pasting content directly
from Word. If I send as text only, it arrives cleanly as text.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open MS Word
2. Type some text.
3. Hit "Enter" twice to create a break.
4. Type some more.
5. Do more typing with additional breaks.
6. Put some font changes in the material.
(This to ensure Thunderbird will go into HTML mode)
7. Copy, and paste into Thunderbird
8. Make sure it is sent in HTML mode.
Receive in Outlook Express to see the code showing in the email itself.

Should be repaired because a primary feature of Thunderbird is its cross-
platform capabilities.
I am seriously considering moving my email to Thunderbird for its spam-blocking
capabilities. If I cannot bring in formatted text from MS Office applications
I may have to stay with Outlook Express.
Thank you!

This also occurs when replying to e-mails that were composed and formatted in Outlook. Affects Mozilla Mail as well as Thunderbird.

This also happens with Netscape 7.1 with WinXP. I found the following workaround (I know it will not work in all situations!): Open the word-document not in WinWord, but in Wordpad and copy the content with the clipboard to the e-mail program. The Wordpad coming with WinXP seems to be able to read perfectly the WinWord-documents from Office 2000. Because of this workaround, I'm pretty sure, there is a WinWord setting to affect this behaviour, but I couldn't find any.
