278329 - Thunderbird adds a dot character if a line begins with dots.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 47606

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[steg]

Here's what happened : On MacOS 10.2.8 (Jaguar) running on a PowerMac G4 400 Mhz
768 Mb RAM, when you read a newsgroup message, when a line begins with a dot "."
Thunderbird 1.0 downloaded about two weeks ago (Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
(Macintosh/20041206)) and Mozilla 1.7.3 (downloaded previously, much older :
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; fr; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910))
display two dots. If the line begins with two dots, then you'll see three and so
on. It occurs everytime, and to reproduce it you can simply send a message with
lines beginning with one and more dots to a test group, like news:fr.test
With Mozilla under Windows XP I don't have this problem. Here's an example,
first the message body as one could write it, and after how it's displayed  : 

..
blah blah blah.
cd folder1/folder2
./ script.command

...
blah blah blah.
cd folder1/folder2
../ script.command

Another example :  I tested it on Mozilla 1.7.3 with the message which ID is : 
cqqpoe$c93$[e-mail] , a visit to Google Groups could provide some
information (headers, etc.)

I did not try it with e-mail messages, and I don't have access to a Macintosh
anymore. I couldn't try it with a newer build, sorry.
