Not a regression from 4.51, in 4.5 - WONTFIX

[John G. Myers]

At the very least, this needs to be fixed in 5.0

Comment 4

[lchiang]

reassign to [e-mail] (who the bugsplat bug was assigned to)

Comment 5

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

This was not a problem in HTML mail -- restricted to plain text.
Should be reviewed when the Sending mail becomes functional in 5.0
for both plain and HTML mail.
Tenatively set for M4 for review and further disposition.
