Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3

Space(s) before angle brackets in signatures are lost or moved.

A line: "My Name <me@example.com>" will become: "My Name<me@example.com>" (space is lost)

A line: "My Name <me@example.com> Blah" will become: "My Name<me@example.com>  Blah"  (space is moved to after closing angle bracket).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a signature file which contains "My Name <me@example.com>" and configure an account to use it.
2. Compose a message and send it.
3. View the message in the "Sent" folder, or on the receiving end.
Actual Results:  
text/plain messages (or parts) will contain "My Name<me@example.com>" (the space before the angle bracket is missing).  HTML parts (if any) will preserve the space.

Expected Results:  
Preserve the exact content of the signature file.

IIRC, I started seeing this when I upgraded from Thunderbird 2.x to 3.x (3.0.4, 3.1b2, 3.1rc1).
This is an unfortunate regression from bug 215068, also see bug 448198.
