Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 456053

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.78 Safari/532.5

f=f is supposed to stamp header f=f;  place trailing spaces on the newly edited soft line breaks;  and additionally it must respect the trailing spaces which preexist in existing citation paragraphs.  This functioned properly in 2.0.0.23 but it has been broken since version 3 and it is still broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reply to a news message which has a paragraph with soft line breaks
2.The citations trailing spaces can still be seen during the editing of the message
3.After send, examination of the sent message source using ctrl-U will illustrate that the trailing spaces of the cited lines are gone
Actual Results:  
The citation soft breaks have been replaced with no trailing spaces;  the previous trailing spaces have been stripped.

Expected Results:  
The trailing spaces should be left alone, retained.

The guidelines of RFCs 2646 and 3676 should be followed.

That's an issue in the serializer code, one of several regressions in quoting.
