when replaying to a hebrew plaint text email, a line of junk characters is added
at the buttom. It is intresting to say that command+u to view source does not
display that junk.
Here is an Exmaple email:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is an evangelism bug against Yahoo mail. The
Yahoo server adds the lines:

_________________________________________________________
Do You Yahoo!?
Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

in ASCII to the base64-encoded message, so we decode them as if they were base64
and produce the line of garbage. (The base64 section includes another copy of
the same lines, which is why they appear in the screenshot).

I think that the server should be either adding what it adds in the same
encoding as the message, or converting to multipart, but I don't know MIME well
enough to be sure.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

3 questions:

can we reproduce this on non mac classic ?

is this an evangelism issue? 

what should we ask yahoo to do?

This was never platform specific AFAIK. 

Comment 6

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

This bug hasen't been touched for years and is clearly unowned. Moving back to default assignee/QA so that people, who are watching those can accurately triage this bug.

Also resetting Priority, Target Milestone, Status Whiteboard and Status.
