134341 - A space is added to the beginning of every line starting with ">"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 114954

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Jonas Jørgensen]

Build 2002032603 on Win2k but I've been seeing this for as long as I can remember.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open a blank compose window.
* Type the following text:

foo
>bar
baz
foo
> bar
baz

* Save it as a draft and go to your Drafts folder and look at the message,
OR:
* Send the message and go to your Sent folder and look at it,
OR:
* Send the message to yourself and look at it in your Inbox when it arrives,
OR:
* [etc].

Expected results: The message should contain the six lines I typed, exactly as I
typed them.

Actual result: The message will look like this:

foo
 >bar
baz
foo
 > bar
baz

This only happens when you type the lines with ">" yourself, not when they are
added automatically by quoting the original message. Setting severity to major
since this can completely ruin the appearance of quoted text if you move some of
the lines around manually.

The same thing happens when the line starts with a space.
