304255 - Editing a saved Draft deletes everything after the first 300 or so characters

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

When I reopen a saved draft and either edit it or send it, I lose everything
after the first couple of hundred characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a long draft
2. Save, then close or send
3. Open or open the sent message

Actual Results:  
Only the first couple of hundred characters remain. Even the recipient of the
message only receives the beginning of it.

Expected Results:  
Sent or kept the entire draft

I'm a user, not a developer so I'm only using the stable releases. If it's been
fixed in a nightly build, I won't know about it because I don't go there... :-)

Thanks, and apologies if it's a duplicate.

Stephen, in future please supply version and list of extensions that are installed. specifics about what you typed in might also help.

WFM version 3 alpha 1 (20061217) and no response from stephen, so closing bug.
please reopen if you still see this problem using a recent version.
