Description

[Sun Liwen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 prism/0.8

When I reply or forward an email in prism on windows hotmail, the email I send will be empty, the message I write will be lost. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shortcut to http://www.hotmail.com using prism.
2. Login and write yourself an email to the login account.
3. Reply the email with some text like "reply to my self" for test when you receive it.
Actual Results:  
All the text will be lost, even the quoted original message.

Expected Results:  
The email should contain my input text, and the quoted original message if I like.

I tried prism 0.8 in ubuntu 8.10 and the 0.9 version from  http://people.mozilla.com/~mfinkle/prism/prism-0.9.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
And a friend help to tried prism 0.9 on windows. 
It can be reproduced each time.

But in firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.7)
or opera (Opera/9.63 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.1.1),
it won't happen.

I think this is a problem with hotmail in general, not prism.  In 3.5b4 builds, I reply or forward a hotmail message and I lose the body.

This problem is happening because, the rich text editor of the live mail, appears "disable" or "readonly". 
The same think happends with gmail (http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/MozillaPrismAndComposingNewGMailMessages.aspx). I tried, changing to Plain Editor, but nothing happen.

Prism isn't maintained anymore. Mass closing of the bugs.
