User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206) I received an HTML email. When I forward it, thunderbird copies the message inline but the HTML is broken. Example... Original message excerpt: It didn't make much more sense on second thought either, there has to be simpler ways to put the local coffee bar on a map, but then movies such as <i>"<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120148/">Sliding Doors", </a></i>"<i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108122/">Short cuts</a>"</i> and <i>"<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0175880/">Magnolia</a>"</i> came to my mind. Inline message of the above: It didn't make much more sense on second thought either, there has to be simpler ways to put the local coffee bar on a map, but then movies such as /"Sliding Doors", <ttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120148/">/"/Short cuts <ttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108122/">"/ and /"Magnolia <ttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0175880/">"/ came to my mind. I received the above message with newspipe, an RSS to email program. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive a message with HTML 2. Forward it as inline 3. Expected Results: Expect the forwarded inline message to either be correct non-munged HTML, or more like how Mutt handles messages with the link and a [1] to a footnote of the actual URL.

I am seeing something like this too with Thunderbird 1.0.2. It doesn't occur for all messages, but it is certainly consistently occurring for regular set of messages that I send out from a webapp - these messages contain tables with a mix of th and td elements with colspans and utilise an embedded css style sheet. The corruptions are confined to the table. What I see are missing end quotes on attributes (e.g. colspan, class, etc.) which result in the following html source being encoded. i.e. I get things like: <tr class="&gt; &lt;th style=ext-align:right;" colspan="&gt;Group members 2 or more days overdue&lt;/th&gt; &lt;td style=ext-align:right;vertical-align:baseline;" align="ight&quot;" valign="aseline&quot;"> 1&nbsp; </tr> instead of: <tr class="b"> <th style="text-align:right;" colspan="3> Group members 2 or more days overdue </th> <td style="text-align:right;vertical-align:baseline;" align="right" align="baseline"> 1&nbsp; </td> </tr> Please let me know if I can assist in providing further examples.

I found this also. When I tried sending a message via Outlook with an HTML attachment, it kept the HTML of the message separate from the HTML of the attachment. When I sent the same attachment and the same message via Thunderbird , it combined the HTML of the message and the attachment.

The problem of the missing characters Scott noted looks similar to bug 307023, even though in that case, only HTML attributes are affected. Are the mails (or parts thereof) you're trying to forward encoded using quoted-printable?

Yes, the messages I am forwarding are encoded using quoted-printable - from the message source: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sönke Tesch appears to be right in suggesting that this might be the same as bug 307023 - as indicated there, the problem occurs when the message is forwarded, but not when "Reply" is used instead on the same message. I am currently running version 1.0.6 (20050716) and the problem still occurs. Scott

Duping to a later bug because it had a more complete test case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 307023 ***
