(Whiteboard: [rules])

When composing a message if a line is ended with a period (.) and then double
spaced to start next sentence it is diplayed indented by one space.

What should happen?
The new line should NOT indent, it should just start at the first position.

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.2 20010719 on win2k
-> Composition

I think should go to Editor though.

This is just more ws wrapping doomage.  The only new twist is that we now have
an nbsp thrown in for good measure.  I believe layout should still trap nbsp's
along with other whitespace at the preceding line, prior to the wrap.

over to layout.

removing myself from the cc list
I have noted this behavior in the plain text editor for email composition.  It
also does the same thing in web pages created in Composer.  The pages created
with Mozilla Composer indent one space for each instance of the previous line
ending with a period and a double space.  Documents written with Composer in
Netscape 4.79 are rendered properly in Mozilla, even though they also contain
double spaces.  

WinXP/1.1 build 20020826
I've seeing similar behaviour in Thunderbird latest stable (1.5.0.4 build 20060619) and latest nightly (20060719).  Any line edited such that it ends with a double space and two newlines (denoting the end of a parapgrah) is written as one space and two newlines.  Other mail clients (Gmail, Outlook, Mutt) that receive a message with this will see the end of a parapgraph, which is ok.  Thunderbird users however -- both sender and recipient -- will see one double space and one newline.  So if there is another paragraph to follow, the two paragraphs will appear as one. 

  


s -- which you would thalthough the message appear are two newlines,

  and mozilla   (regardless of the presence of a period)

Sorry, that's not quite right.  Thunderbird users will see the space-newline-newline as space-newline.  So two paragraphs become one.

Paul, i think this problem with mailer will go away if you disable flowed format display (mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support=true)
