Mozilla Thunderbird sometimes makes a hyperlink out of some text that shouldn't be underlined.

Here is the text of the email:

 Does Wednesday aft. work for you?
 I'll tentatively schedule for 3:30 on Wednesday.
 We'll come to S@Y...where should we meet?

which is being displayed as follows in Thunderbird:

 Does Wednesday aft. work for you?
 I'll tentatively schedule 3:30 on Wednesday.
 We'll come to [mailto:S@Y...where S@Y...where] should we meet?

Reproducible: Always

So is this when you are writing an email ? 

Does this also happens in -safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?

What version of thunderbird are you using ?

Bug fix

Does this even compile? Isn't there an if missing? And please keep the indentation from the previous line and limit your line to 80 characters.

WORKSFORME

Reproduction:
Send yourself an email with just "foo s@ys blaa" as body text, send it as plaintext, read it in Thunderbird (Sent folder). No link, as expected.

> S@Y...where

Oh, the space is missing. Edge case, WONTFIX.

This is a heuristic, it'll never cover all strange edge cases and typos.
