339961 - URL in a mail isn't fully marked as such if there's a linebreak in it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 5351

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[René M.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060404 SeaMonkey/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060404 SeaMonkey/1.0.1

While an Apple Mail user is searching for the problems he has with linebreaks in URLs we found out the following behaviour for Seamonkey's mail client:

mail code:
---8<---
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; delsp=yes; format=flowed
...
http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?=20
something=true
--->8---

looks like:
http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?something=true
---------------------------------------

(where ----- is the link range)

To make it even worse, when the guy with Apple Mail sends his
e-mail with an URL to a mailinglist using mailman, it changes to:
---8<---
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
...
http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php? =

something=true
--->8---

The URL will be displayed like this:
http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?<space>
---------------------------------------
something=true

((where ----- is again the link range and <space> one space character)

If I fwd the direct mail (not the mailman mail) to myself, the link becomes
---8<---
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
...
http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?
something=true
--->8---

and it looks like this:

http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?
---------------------------------------
something=true

A reply (of the mail, not of the forward) to myself brought:
---8<---
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
...
> http://example.com/peter/mary/joana.php?something=true
--->8---

and the link is fully clickable.

It looks like the URL becomes clickable _before_ the space is removed.

Copy+paste of the URL into the browser works, if multiline support is enabled,
it doesn't work if it comes via a mailman mailinglist, the space isn't removed then.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Guy with Apple Mail drops me some lines together with an URL
2. URL is broken if it's longer than 72 signs, URL breaks after the "?" sign
3. I can't click the URL

Actual Results:  
I have a broken, non-clickable URL in my mail.

Expected Results:  
The URL might have a linebreak or not, but it should be completely clickable and if I copy+paste it into my browser (multiline enabled) it should be complete without any space at the former linebreak.
