(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Can Ugur Ayfer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

If the first line of a message's body contains a URL (like
http://www.bilkent.edu.tr ), the message is sent out with an
extra space inserted between the "http:" and "//www...."

This is a problem escpecially if/when the recipient views the
message with Thunderbird bacause Thunderbird cannot display
a line which contains "http: //www.xyz.com"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a message with the first line containing any URL
2. Send the message to yourself
3. View the message you receive

Actual Results:  
The first line of the received message (the line which contains the URL) is not
visible.
You can see the URL with an extra space is there if you view the source of the
message.

Expected Results:  
The software should not deform a URL in the first line of a message.

This works for me. Are you sure you're not mistyping the URL? Also, are you
sending this message as plain text or HTML? And are you inserting this URL via
insert link or just manually typing it?

It doesn't matter whether I type it or paste it. I am sure that I type/paste it
correctly. 
My message composition is  set to "plain text". 

When I view the source of the message I send for test I see:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-9; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Spam-Level: 
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (2004-11-16) on

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-9.2 required=4.4 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL,BAYES_00,
	CUA_EDU_TR,DATE_IN_FUTURE_03_06 autolearn=ham version=3.0.2

Note the space after "https:"

I see the same pattern in the /var/spool/mail/cayfer mailbox; thats why I 
assume the problem is withthe composer and not the viewer.

version 1.6a1 (20050920) (Windows XP)

Still WFM. Could you retest this with the latest trunk builds that gerv
mentioned? Also, could something else be messing with your mail before it's
received again? I see that SpamAssasin is mentioned in your header...

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird version 2 is 2.0.0.16)
