Build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020512

When forwarding the message below,  does not include the URLs in the message.
There are blank spaces where the URLs should appear. 

Could this be because there are <  > around the URLs?

I CAN FORWARD THE MESSAGE FROM MY INBOX IF YOU WANT THE ACTUAL MESSAGE.

Netscape 7.0 PR1 Released!
--------------------------
Netscape has released a preview of its next major browser, Netscape 7.0. 
  You can download this important new release from 
<http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/7/download.jsp>.  Netscape 7.0 
PR1 is based on the Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 2 build, and contains 
some amazing new features, the debut of some long-wanted features, and 
much more.  Just a few highlights:

* Tabbed Browsing lets users visit multiple web pages in a single window
* Bookmark Groups let you save, and then launch, several web pages in 
one bookmark
* Print Preview lets you see a page before you print it
* Update Notification tells you when updates to Netscape are available
* Support for the P3P (Privacy Preference Project) standard
* New corporate features in Netscape Mail including S/MIME, Secure LDAP, 
and Offline LDAP
* Mail labels allow you to prioritize your emails
* Integrated support for both AIM and ICQ

Combined with some of the best standards support in the world, these 
features make Netscape 7.0 an unparalleled browser.  Don't just take our 
word for it, though.  Here's a sampling of the coverage 7.0 PR1 has been 
receiving:

    "Netscape 7.0: A Lot to Like"
    http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s=1884&a=27241,00.asp

    "First Look at Netscape 7.0: A Good Start"
    http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,100564,00.asp

    "Netscape 7 Preview Release 1 - Software Review"
    http://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227883-8-9916554-1.html?tag=rev

Intrigued?  Just go to 
<http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/7/download.jsp> and get a 
preview of the future.


Is Your Site Netscape 7 Friendly?
---------------------------------
Some quick tips for developers:

* Only Flash 6 is bundled with Netscape 7 Preview Release.
* If you are specifically detecting "Netscape 6," now is a good time to 
start detecting "Gecko" instead. That way you'll detect all browsers 
based on the Netscape Gecko embedding browser with one sniff.  See 
<http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/articles/find-gecko/> for 
details.
* Got audio or video? Making RealPlayer the default for Netscape Gecko 
users will result in your best user experience. Windows Media Player is 
not bundled or scriptable with Netscape Gecko browsers-- although you 
can embed this player in web pages.
* Make sure your server has the correct MIME types configured before you 
start serving it up!  Sending data such as stylesheets with incorrect 
MIME types can lead to a poor experience for your users.  See 
<http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/technotes/incorrect-mime-types/> 
for more information.

<http://developer.netscape.com>.


Netscape 6.2.3 -- Recommended Upgrade
-------------------------------------
Developers should upgrade to Netscape 6.2.3 as soon as possible, and 
encourage their clients to do the same.  A flaw that could potentially 
allow a malicious web site to read files stored on a user's computer has 
been discovered in Netscape 6.1 through 6.2.2 versions of the Netscape 
browser.  There are no known instances of this flaw being exploited. 
Netscape encourages those using versions 6.1 through 6.2.2 to upgrade to 
the recently released Netscape 6.2.3 browser, which is not subject to 
this potential flaw.  You can download Netscape 6.2.3 from 
<http://wp.netscape.com/computing/download/>.

Sorry my report was lame:   Only the URLs with <  > around them do not display.
The ones that are just plain URLs display fine when forwarded.

Comment 2

[scottputterman]

reassigning to ducarroz and marking nsbeta1+ [adt2 rtm]

Comment 3

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

THis is the well know problem where html tag are interpreted when doing a
forward inline of a plain/text message body into an HTML message compose window.

Comment 4

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

Attachment: Proposed fix, v1

We need to convert a plain text body to HTML before inserting it into an html
compose window.

Comment 9

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

Fix checked in the trunk. This is a safe fix we should consider to take for the
branch

Comment 10

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

Just wanted to say that this bug does not affect only URLs surrounded by < >.
Plain sgml/xml/html tags inserted in a message, for instance when you quote
a source, are also omitted. Correction : start tags are omitted, I never tried
with end tags.

Comment 11

[scottputterman]

olga, can you verify this on the trunk?

Comment 12

[Olga]

Fix is verified on trunk 07/03/02, Win2K.

Comment 13

[Paul Wyskoczka]

Is this bug a regression from a previous release?

Comment 14

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

no, it has always been there

Comment 15

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

adt1.0.1- on ADT's behalf. let's get this in the next release.

Comment 16
