Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 183111

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

[Alan Peery]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I had typed a moderately complex indented list in Composer, and sent it in both
HTML and text to make sure that the recipients could read it nicely formatted. 
In two cases it took words with colons, and tried (wrongly) to turn them into
links.  



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Two instances follow:



Text should have been:
------------------------
hosted:
       Cost for *400* Gb of data: 

    * 2 database servers hosting 400Gb data, £9000 each(one live, one


Generated HTML text was:
--------------------------------
hosted:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cost for *400* Gb of <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="data:&nbsp;">data:&nbsp;</a> <br>

<ul>

Text should have been:
----------------------------------
and 7-9x in new data model which has known
      ineffiencies:   




Text was:
---------------------------------
7-9x in new data model which has known <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="ineffiencies:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;">ineffiencies:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a> <br>
    <br>



Expected Results:  
Mozilla should either 
1) not try to html tags ending in colon except for specical cases
2) show me in the HTML message composition that it is going to do so, by
displaying the text as green/whatever.
