User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

I use a hotmail account, and I have the appropriate Webmail addon. Whenever I write a new message, and type the word "body" and add some HTML characteristics to it, and then send it in a HTML format, whoever I send this message, gets the word "body" written as "span".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write a new mail message, type the word "body" and make it like HTML (add some color and some formating etc)
2. Send it as a HTML to anyone
3. Check and see that he got every word "body" changed to a word "span"
Actual Results:  
The word "body" turned to "span" on the receiving computer.

Expected Results:  
The word "body" should remain "body"

It works for me.  I followed your steps 1, 2, 3, but the word "body" did not change.

To investigate further, look at the message in your Sent folder.  That is exactly what Thunderbird sent.  If you see the word "body" there, then the problem is not in Thunderbird.  If you see the word "span" there, then restart Thunderbird in safe mode and try to reproduce the problem again in a new message.

I checked the sent folder, the word "body" is as it is there... Only when I check the inbox of any other account where I send it, it turns to "span".
And I cant send it in safe mode, cos the Webmail addon is disabled, and I need it to use the Hotmail account.

Maybe it's becose of the the hotmail account??
