Extra newlines are very annoying when periodically edit html with composer -
then the html code looks after several times as 

<!DOCTYPE doctype PUBLIC "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"><html><head>
[number of new lines or lines with spaces]
  <meta name="Author" content="EV">
[number of new lines or lines with spaces]
 <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.61 [ru] (OS/2; I) [Netscape]">
[number of new lines or lines with spaces]


and so on.

Mainly extra  lines are borning in head 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Composer, open new page
2.type "bla"
3.save page as bla.html with title "bla"
4. Close composer
5. Edit bla.html with pure text editor so that all tags
<html>, <head>, </html>, </head> will be on new lines
something like 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=KOI8-R"><title>bla</title><meta name="author" content="evg">
</head>
<body>bla</body>
</html>
6. Open bla.html with composer, change something, say press "b" and than Bacspace
7. Save changed bla.html
8.  look at bla.html
Actual Results:  
You will see something like
000000B0 75 74 68 6F � 72 22 20 63 � 6F 6E 74 65 � 6E 74 3D 22  uthor" content="
000000C0 65 76 67 22 � 3E 3C 2F 68 � 65 61 64 3E � 0D 0A 0D 0A  evg"></head>....
000000D0 3C 62 6F 64 � 79 3E 62 6C � 61 3C 2F 62 � 6F 64 79 3E  <body>bla</body>
000000E0 3C 2F 68 74 � 6D 6C 3E                                 </html>
 i.e. two extra linebreakes after </head> tag

Expected Results:  
File should be the same as befor second Composer's run

Seems that this bug is still in place with Mozilla 1.3a
as it can be seen in #185379
I tried to reproduce this bug with a recent nightly.

(a) if you have selected the "Reformat HTML" pref, it does not happen
(b) I see this if you select "retain original formatting" pref
