This morning, I noticed a rogue character '2' in an html email message.

Looking at the source, there is no reason for the character to be there, and
viewing the same html with navigator confirms that it is not there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.not sure, but you can see from my snapshot of the screen both the message and
it's source.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
rogue '2' displayed

Expected Results:  
no rogue '2'

Max, there's not much that can be done unless you attach the message source.

Comment 3

Max, the HTML source of the message you sent me includes many broken  HMTL tags,
such as:

<td align="!" "l! eft">

and

<td ! al! ign="left">

This is what's probably causing the problems. I'm afraid Mozilla isn't at fault
here. It's the fault of whatever program generated the HTML.

Unless Mozilla generated the bad HTML, this isn't a Mozilla bug, and is thus
Invalid.
