HTML messages generated by Mozilla may have an empty title tag, increasing the
chance that the message may get rejected by spam detectors. I noticed this
problem in Thunderbird, but have now verified it in current nightly build of
Mozilla suite. Not sure if this is really a MailNews problem, or Composer
problem (or linkage between MailNews and Composer).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Compose an HTML message, then either send it (in either HTML only or text + HTML
format), or you can see problem without even sending message: just save as
draft, then view message source of the draft. However, problem doesn't always
occur every time. May be random, but generally seems to occur with first message
composed after starting Mozilla.
Actual Results:  
HTML of the generated message includes following, with empty title tag:
<head>
  <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
  <title></title>
</head>


Expected Results:  
Either omit the title tag entirely, or use the email Subject as the title.
