Description

[esther]

Using 19990923 build on win98, (still need to check mac and linux) messages sent
from the Unsent folder using the menu item "Send Unsent Messages" arrives in
mailbox with header and body of message as if your reading the source file.

1. Launch Messenger  (make sure your set for HTML editing )
2. Click New Msg address it to yourself and add HTML attributes to the message
3. Select Send Later from the File menu
4. Check to see if the message is in the Unsent folder and see that the message
body is of the correct HTML format
5. Select Send Unsent Messages from the File menu
6. Select this message from you Inbox (it's missing the subject, a different
bug)
Result:  The message dislplays header and body all in the body in plain text
format with html tags.

This looks like a problem with "From - " header lines being saved to disk. Jeff
has a beat on this problem.

Looks like "From - " header isn't the only problem. I have a fix for the "From -
header" that will be addressed by fixing 10801. The other problem is we did set
the sender of the message when deliver the queued message. We failed in
message_header_sanity_check(). I also have a fix for this.

Problem fixed along with bug 10801. nsMsgSendLater.cpp also changed.
