Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
When sending UNIX text files (lines ending with \n) as attachment, Thunderbird
rewrites end of lines (now lines end with \r\n).
As a result, the recipent cannot uses those files (mostly scripts) on UNIX
servers without filtering all those ^M.
Outlook handles those files correctly.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach an UNIX text file to a mail
2. Check the text file the recipient received
3.
Actual Results:
The text files contains ^M.
Expected Results:
I cannot understand why Thunderbird modifies attachment files.
All attachment files, including text files, should be considered as binary files
and not modified.
