PS: I mean multiline signature with leading spaces. I not test signatures with other properties. Reproducible: Always
Addition: in f=f mode, non-f=f aware mailer shows signature with extra space in each line.

Which mail client is generating the f=f messages that are causing the problem? Do these f=f messages appear in the message without line breaks, or is the problem only when copying to the clipboard?
> At the end of the line, or at the beginning? Beginning. I not check trailing spaces and doubt they appear, whereas leading space is related to f=f handling (as I understand). > Which mail client is generating the f=f messages that are causing the problem? Thunderbird, of course. In my primary, non-f=f aware mailer (which shows message "as is", without extra handling), shows, that letters, which I send from TB, contains extra leading space in signature. > Do these f=f messages appear in the message without line breaks, or is the > problem only when copying to the clipboard? Only _copying_ through clipborad in TB breaks signature, showing is fine.

Example of letter, currently in my inbox (copied directly from TB' "Inbox." file, with all extra trailing spaces): |From - Fri Sep 12 16:23:08 2008 [...] |X-Mozilla-Keys: |Received: (qmail 41832 invoked from network); 12 Sep 2008 16:23:49 +0400 [...] |User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (Windows/20080708) |MIME-Version: 1.0 |To: ... |Subject: test |Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R |Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit | |test |-- | Best regards!
