Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
Win32 build 1999-08-09-09-m9 installed on Gateway P200 Win32
Overview Description:
On Win32, when you sent a rich text messages, the spaces are being interpreted
as control characters. The text run together.
Example a message such as "A simple test message here for you to see. " is seen
as "A simple test message here>".
If you open the ms-dos window and view the tempMessage.eml in a text editor, you
should see the spaces view as a control characters. In Communicator 4.7, the
page source shows spaces as being spaces. This message displays correctly in
Communicator 4.7.
The page source is different from previous builds. It now displays the comment
"<!-- This page was created by the Gecko output system. -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head><!--ctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//e-->
..."
In the previous builds, it displayed in the page source:
"<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
** Plain text message do not exhibit this problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
0) You user pref for compose_html should be set to true
1) Launch Apprunner
2) Open Messenger
3) Start a new message
4) Address the message to yourself
5) Type in a couple lines of text
6) Send message
7) Get Msg
8) Select the message
Notice the message is displayed with any spaces.
Actual Results:
The message is displayed with no spaces separating the words and the entire
message is not displayed.
Expected Results:
The message should display as Communicator.
Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:
When I view my Win32 mail message in today PPC commercial 1999-08-09-08-m9
build, the spaces are displayed as "<?>"
Additional Information:
I could not test on Linux because today build will not launch. I could not
test sending message from PPC because of existing bug 10797.
I will attached a sample message sent from Win32 5.0.

re-assigning to me.
I just entered this bug against rhp. Probably a duplicate except in my case,
the text after the first space character never shows up.

I'm pretty sure Lisa's bug is a duplicate.
Naoki just sent me a patch to try which involved changing the character set of
the msg before we send it. Rich, I'm about to bolt to the airport to pick
someone up. Can I send you the patch? If it works, can you check it in so QA
doesn't get blocked by this tomorrow? If not, don't worry about it, and I'll
take a crack at it tomorrow.

I checked in the possible fix for this problem, but I am not sure if this
really fixes the problem or not. I had trouble re-creating.

Thanks a bunch Rich. I owe you one.
Running with Naoki's patch send works for me with spaces. But I didn't try to
reproduce the bug before his patch.
Marking as fixed so QA can try to verify the patch tomorrow.

I am not seeing this in today's Win98 build 1999081008. Lisa, if you can
confirm this, please verify it fixed.
Using the win32 1999-08-10-08-m9 build, I am no longer seeing this problem on
windows. I can successful send and receive HTML message from seamonkey 5.0
Verified as fixed
