I tried to use a modified version of comm's nsContextMenu.js:searchSelected (below) as I didn't want it's deafult of converting <cr>s & <lf>s to <space>. However, sometimes the toString() method gives me the "\r\n" on line breaks as I'd expect, and sometimes it converts these to a <space> - meaning I can't distinguish line breaks from spaces (which I need to turn to "%20"). As best as I can determine, the 'bug' occurs when an email is *not* marked as content format=flowed. In this case, <cr><lf> is converted to <space> upon toString() (but correctly survices cut'n'paste). If format=flowed is present, the toString() works as ]I] expected. I believe that toString() should not be making assuptions about format where none is specified. I think this is the one out of nsISelection.cpp Here's the version of the method I try to use: function rawSearchSelected(context) { var focusedWindow = document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow; var searchStr = focusedWindow.__proto__.getSelection.call(focusedWindow); searchStr = searchStr.toString(); /* the culprit */ searchStr = searchStr.replace( /^\s+/, "" ); searchStr = searchStr.replace(/(\n|\r)+/g, ""); searchStr = searchStr.replace(/\t/g, " "); searchStr = searchStr.replace(/\s+$/,""); return searchStr; } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive email *without* format=flowed [how in Moz? I had to do it 'raw'] 2. Try to extract a multi-line selction as string in JS (see quoted func. above). E.g., content of selectiun is: http://www.go ogle.com/ Actual Results: "http://www.go ogle.com/" Expected Results: "http://www.go\r\nogle.com\r\n"
