224802 - Sometimes entire mail message is bold

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 230423

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Emily Bowman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031002 Foxybird/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4a (20031024)

I've noticed at times that certain messages always appear in all or mostly bold,
especially when they start with a *bold text* area. It happens to plain text,
HTML, and multipart messages, and seems to have to do with a space not coming
after the trailing *(?). Of the other two I saw this morning, one was viagra
spam and one a letter from a friend. I'll see if I can find more public-safe
stuff that does it as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a message that has done it before
Actual Results:  
Message appears mostly bold.

Expected Results:  
Message should begin with a short bold section and be plain text the rest.

Is this the same problem as bug 230423?
