Twice quoted material (quoted text in a message one replies to) is miswrapped.
The quoting characters are correctly placed ('>>'), but the line lengths
alternate between long and short rather than being of a consistant length.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Post a message spanning multiple lines with a news reader that does not
support flowed formatting (I used Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 under
Windows 2000 SP3)
2. Reply to that message leaving quoted material from original message using
Mail & News
3. Reply to your own reply leaving quoted material from the original message
and the previous reply
Actual Results:
The original message, as twice quoted, is miswrapped with short lines
interspersed with long lines.
Expected Results:
Twice quoted text should be wrapped in such a way that line lengths are
relatively uniform.
The line lengths of twice quoted text appear to be properly wrapped when viewing
the message in the preview pane of Mail & News. The wrapping problem shows up
when composing, viewing message source (with CTRL-U), and/or when viewing the
post in a news reader that doesn't support flowed formatting.
This bug is illustrated in the group "alt.test" under the thread, "Re: Mozilla
line wrapping problem verification (using OE this time)" posted on Februrary 3,
2003 at 6:02 pm EST.
Messages themselves can be viewed under the following message-ids:
<v3tt763h00rp47@corp.supernews.com> (original message posted with OE)
<v3tt9n37116j86@corp.supernews.com> (reply to original message posted using Mail
& News)
<v3u5oo4131o70d@corp.supernews.com> (reply to the first reply posted using Mail
& News)
Also of note is that this bug cannot be reproduced if the original message was
posted using a client that supports "format=flowed". I have only verified this
using Mail & News in group "alt.test" under the thread, "Mozilla line wrapping
problem verification" posted on February 3, 2003.
Message-ids illustrating proper wrapping in this situation are listed below:
<v3ts1o8v0877f0@corp.supernews.com> (original message posted with Mail & News)
<v3ts32im0tvq10@corp.supernews.com> (reply to original message posted with Mail
& News)
<v3ts4h8i1lab2f@corp.supernews.com> (reply to first reply posted with Mail &
News)
One difference I noticed with the formatting between OE's version and Mail &
News' version of the original message is that Mail & News appears to leave a
space character at the end of the last word token in each line, while OE's
version does not.

Arif Khokar, is this bug still an issue for you? I just attempted to reproduce
the problem as you describe it, using Mozilla 1.5RC1, and I am not seeing the
breaking-up of the source lines; I can provide the sample message if desired.
If the problem no longer occurs for you, please mark this bug

Arif Khokar, feel free to reopen this if the bug is still a problem for you with
current builds of Mozilla.
