485515 - On copy & paste of the emailtext all line-feed within the Signature are deleted.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Michael Soliman.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702

Moin Moin.
Upon a copy & paste of the emailtext all line-feed within the Signature are deleted.
This yields an Emailtext looking like "garbage" and prevents bitwise comparisons using opengpg.
_Tschuess,
__Michael.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an old Email.
2.Press Ctrl-a
3.Press Ctrl-c
4.Open a new Email.
5.Press Ctrl-y


Actual Results:  
The Emailtext is not copied verbatim, but with many linefeeds being deleted.
If this intended, how about allowing a configuration-setting to change it to the original behaviour, where the text has been copied on a verbatim basis, that used to function until somewhen within the last year.


Expected Results:  
A verbatim Emailtext copy (It used to function until somewhen within the last year.).

Plain text or html?
At least a plain text mail works just fine for me on a tb3 nightly. 

Can you reproduce on
