Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[ted]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

a file signature.txt contains the following (just one line)
this is a signature with spaces
and the signature that is displayed and used in the compose window is:

-- 
this
is
a
signature
with
spaces

but when copied pasted to a text editor, it appears as
-- 
this is a signature with spaces



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set wrap plain text at 0 chars in composition preferences
2.create a one line signature text containing spaces
3.use the signature file for messages
4.compose a message
Actual Results:  
this is displayed and used 

-- 
this
is
a
signature
with
spaces

Expected Results:  
wrap at 0 chars should not wrap anything. disable wrapping of text like the main body of email

somehow when i tested to change the wrap to be at 10 chars, and entered a long text, it does not wrap the body but still wraps the signature.

Comment 2

Could not reproduce.

To test, I had to:
1. Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor
2. Filter to find mailnews.wraplength and change value to 0

I also disabled all HTML and confirmed the flow options were enabled: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plain_text_e-mail_(Thunderbird)#Flowed_format

Closing as WFM.
