308486 - 'Message Source' displays an extra whitespace (breaks my PGP signature)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Alexander Ivanchev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6 (Windows/20050716)

User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6 (Windows/20050716)
This caused me some real pain:

http://www.ivanchev.org/extracrlf.eml

Send this sample PGP signed message to a thunderbird account:

View Message Source for the message, notice that there's an extra white space
right here:

<font size="-1"><font face="Tahoma">Test</font></font><br>

<div class="moz-signature">-- <br>

That's a ghost CRLF, it doesn't exist in the original file, nor if the mail is
saved from the File menu. As I was copying pasting directly from Message Source,
the PGP signature got broken each time... spent about 2 hours figuring this out...

Reproducible: Always

Woa ;-) It's been three years :-]

Yep, the bug is still there (Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 win32 release). I am providing new samples too, as the old file expired in the meanwhile.

WFM using 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5pre) Gecko/20091009 Lightning/1.0pre Shredder/3.0pre ID:20091009032155

and enigmail 0.97a

I have tested with this STR:

1. send to myself a signed message;
2. received the message;
3. show source code: copy all and past into new file that I rename as 1.eml;
4. open 1.eml with TB
5. all work fine

Reporter could you try to see if it still happens with
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/ 

and enigmail trunk?
