335634 - Unformatted signature when composing message as HTML

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 333229

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Andy Boze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060423 SeaMonkey/1.5a

I have a plain text signature file consisting of five lines of text. I normally compose messages as plain text, and the signature gets added to the body of the e-mail exactly as entered in the sig file. If I compose in HTML, however, the five lines are all concatenated into a single line. Even the sig delimiter "-- " becomes part of the concatenated line. I don't recall that this used to happen. It seems to be a recent development, but since I rarely compose in HTML, I could be mistaken.

Perhaps related to this problem is that when I switch the "From" of the message to a different account or identity, the sig for the different account is added to the previous sig instead of replacing it. When I compose a message as plain text and switch identities, the sig replaces the one for the previous identity

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open e-mail compose in HTML mode. All lines of plain text sig file are concatenated into a single line.
2.Switch "From" to a second identity. Sig for second identity is appended to sig from first identity.
3.Switch "From" back to first identity. Sig of first identity gets further appended to presiously appended sigs, and so on.

Actual Results:  
Had multiple sigs, all lines concatenated and appended to each other.

Expected Results:  
Expected the HTML sig to be a reasonable approximation of the plain text sig, and expected sigs form different identities to replace each other as the "From" identities were changed.

Get a new build, it's been fixed.
