Offline store should either separate messages with blank line or escape "From " lines in order to be able to reparse offline stores.

Details
Currently, offline stores are basically berkeley mailbox format files, but we're not escaping "From " lines as ">From " or putting a blank line before the envelope header that separates messages. If we ever want to reparse the offline store for some reason, we'll need to escape "From " lines, and probably put the blank line between messages so the offline store is a proper berkeley mailbox format file, or at least more like our local mailboxes.

Is there any reason to think this could be a beta stopper? What's the worst effect this has?

No, it's not a beta stopper. As I explained above, it's only a problem if we ever decide to write code to reparse the offline store for some reason. I'd probably want to fix this before we ship because it's fairly trivial to do so, but we might never write code to reparse the offline store.

Will something be done about this bug, or should it be marked WONTFIX?

eventually, something will be done - it won't matter until we actually have code that needs to reparse offline stores, which we don't. So don't concern yourself with this bug.

So don't concern yourself > with this bug. Is this still not fixed after a couple of years. This needs to be fixed because there are already problems with the parsing of the offline store. Several people including myself have noticed this causing problems with the index in thunderbird not pulling up the correct message presumably from the offline store, ex. I click on message from Joe and I get a garbled message or the next in the index. When I take a look at the offline store the messages that are corrupted correspond to the entries that do not have a blank line between them. I don't know wether this is an "offline extension" issue or core thunderbird issue in parsing the offline store.

we never re-parse the offline store, so this bug doesn't explain what you're seeing. What you're seeing is because the offline store is corrupted because two things are getting written to it at the same time. That's a different bug.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state. If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way. If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar). If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state. Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

MASS-CHANGE: This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago. Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED. If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.

Actually, it's fixed as expected (prepending >) for non-format-flowed. With format-flowed, the line is space-stuffed.
