I got a plain-text mail (no html-section) from a mailing-list-bot to confirm a subscription, with the line like
auth deadbeef subscribe list-name mail@address.com
Checking the clipboard, in the text/html-version of the copied text the mail-address was linkified with the class "moz-txt-link-abbreviated" within a <pre wrap=""> .
Copying this text into a new mail and sending it as plain-text back to the mailinglist-bot turned the text into
auth deadbeef subscribe linux-mediamail@address.com
with which the confirmation didn't succeed.
Only after pasting the copied text into an editor, thus stripping it of all formating, and then copy-pasting that text into a new mail, the confirmation did work.

I wanted to see whether the bug was correctly made a duplicate of bug 1160880.
I can reproduce it in TB 3.1 (yes, three point one):
1. I used the message from bug 1160880 and selected the |subscribe postfix-users de.techno@gmail.com|
2. "Check the clipboard" - I wouldn't know how.
3. "Copy the text into a new e-mail": Done that and sent to myself.
4. Result: |subscribe postfix-usersde.techno@gmail.com| got sent and received.
Note: When looking at the draft before sending it, I saw:
<pre wrap="">subscribe postfix-users <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:de.techno@gmail.com">de.techno@gmail.com</a></pre>
I am tipping that the problem happens when the HTML is converted to plain text.
This can happen when the message is being sent, as in this bug, or when the message is answered, as in bug 1160880.
So I am tipping that this is indeed a duplicate of the other bug, although the STR are very different.

Actually, I'm not comfortable of making this a duplicate, since I will tag this "dataloss".
Clearly the e-mail sent is not what the user intended.
