1508591 - Error encoding tag "<font face ="">" when forwarding mail. Planting webmail oracle convergence

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1509102

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Christophe]

Attachment: font-error.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

Receipt of an email with a bad encoding of the tag "<font face =" ">". Transfer to a user.


Actual results:

In the mail, there is a bad encoding of the tag "<font face =" ">". It is not possible to open this email with the webmail oracle convergence.

With Thunderbird version 52.9.1 (32 bits), the encoding is automatically corrected by Thunderbird and we can open the mail with the webmail oracle convergence.

With Thunderbird version 60.3.1 (32 bits), the encoding is not corrected and the mail can not open with the webmail oracle convergence.

The attached file "font-error.html" replicates this problem. You must write an email with as HTML content the contents of this file.


Expected results:

The contents of the tag have a bad encoding: <font face = "Times New&#xA;Roman,&#xA;&#xA; Times, serif">

With Thunderbird version 52.9.1 (32-bit), the content of the tag is corrected like this: <font face = "Times New Roman, Times, serif">

With Thunderbird version 60.3.1 (32 bits), the encoding remains bad.

Looks a bit like bug 1509102. Suddenly those 
 are popping up everywhere :-(

So <font face="Times New&#xA;Roman,&#xA;&#xA; Times, serif"> was in a received message or did TB produce that?

Hello.
It's the same problem.

The problem appeared in a received email.
If I transfer the mail, the problem persists.
