Put each piece of data on a seperate line

WFM with a Linux Gtk2 build from today when using the plaintext editor in the
Compose window.

With the HTML editor I see the described "bug". I tested this with the nightly
build and mozilla 1.5 and both behave the same. So this is not a (recent)
regression.

Should we perhaps always open a plaintext Compose window for a mailto: form or
is this bug report INVALID?

Yes, we should, imo.

Although actually.... that would leave a problem with other mail clients, no? 
We need to think of a way to deal with that.

Seems to work for me with 1.6 --

Reporter can you please try a newer build.  Your build is a bit old.  Please
don't post bug reports using builds older than 2 weeks.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
