281896 - Pasting Text as Quotation Loses Line Breaks If Line End With Space (f=f)

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

20050210 trunk

1) Copy the text below and paste it into a Thunderbird composition window
   as a quotation.
2) Send the mail.

Result:
The hard returns are displayed in the compose window, but they are stripped from
the message when it is sent.

Expected:
Pasted text should behave exactly as if it were typed. That is, if I paste two
words with a line break between them, Thunderbird should honor that line break
as if I had typed it manually.

This would be for plain text composition; I don't see this symptom with HTML 
composition, even if the text is converted to plain for sending.

If you turn off format=flowed for sending, you won't see this symptom.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

I can't reproduce this.

From headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Result:

Closing.

Thunderbird 52.0.1 (32-bit)

Sorry for the noise. I did not realize that I had to go to Tools - Account settings - Composition and tick off the use of HTML. I can't seem to remember relevant settings live there.

So yes, this is still valid.
