40137 - Saving a message to draft corrupts backticks

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Michele Bini]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m15)
BuildID:    2000041805

When I save a mail message from the mail composer (into the Drafts folder) all
the backticks characters "`" turn into the sequence "&pi0;"



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open MailNews
2. Click on "New Msg"
3. Type something, including at least a backtick "`"
4. Click on "Save"


Actual Results:  If I look at the message in the Drafts folder, or if I send it
from the composer I notice that each and every backtick has been replaced by "&pi0;"


Expected Results:  Obviously "`" should be shown :-)


I choose "MIME Quoted Printable for 8 bit characters" in the preferences, but
the bug happens even if I uncheck it and/or 8 bit characters don't appear in the
message.
