Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose an email

3. Hit "Send" (to send to myself, ThunderBird 3.1 is used as sending mailer and receiving mailer)
4. Check the incoming email. 
Actual Results:  
There is an unexpected space (0x20) before "Test" or "To:" or "BCC:" in the body of the email received. 

Expected Results:  
5. There is a 0x20 before "Test"
6. There is a 0x20 before "To:" or "BCC:" (acceptable)

  Many implementations are also known to escape message body lines
that
   begin with the character sequence of "From ", so as to prevent
   confusion with overly-liberal parsers that do not search for full
   separator lines.  In the common case, a leading Greater-Than symbol
   (0x3E) is used for this purpose (with "From " becoming ">From ").
   However, other implementations are known not to escape such lines
   unless they are immediately preceded by a blank line or if they
also
   appear to contain an email address and a timestamp.  Other
   implementations are also known to perform secondary escapes against
   these lines if they are already escaped or quoted, while others
   ignore these mechanisms altogether.
