(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: version 1.0.5 (20050711)

E-mails containing specific RDF/XML fragments are displayed incorrectly in that
some double quotes surrounding attribute values are duplicated. For example, an
e-mail containing just the following text:

  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/" xml:base="test1/">

is rendered as

  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/"" xml:base="test1/">

making this XML fragment (which was part of a larger document) illegal.

The view-source window displays the fragment correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. E-mail yourself the following text:
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/" xml:base="test1/">
2. Take a look at the received e-mail.
Actual Results:  
The mail panel displays the incorrect text:
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/"" xml:base="test1/">

Expected Results:  
The mail panel should have displayed the text that was sent, i.e.:
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/" xml:base="test1/">
