1. Forwarding an HTML mail (X) from my Inbox to someone.
2. Composing a new, unrelated e-mail (Y), and sending as HTML

The new mail (Y) will contain HTML tags that were in the message (X)!
(e.g. "title" and some meta tags). 
[Took some time to realize where these came from - I started
suspecting a security problem - that metatag just happened to
be "meta name=webmaster" pointing to someone from Iran :-) ).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Forward an HTML e-mail which contains Title and Meta tags. Send.
2. Compose a new mail and sent as HTML
3. 

Actual Results:  
Second mail contained tags from 1st mail. 

Expected Results:  
Initialize variables properly?

Doron Shikmoni, is this bug still an issue for you?  Have you tried upgrading to 
a more current build of Mozilla (1.3 or 1.4)?

Well, apparently I can't reproduce it right now with 1.3.1. Hopefully fixed
between then and now.
