Reproduction, way 2:
1. Send youself a msg with the following HTML file attached:
<html><head><title>stupid sendmail</title></head><body>
From all
</body></html>
Important: "From all" must be at the beginning of a line.
2. View the incoming msg
Actual result:
You'll see
>From all
Expected result:
From all
Additional Comments:
I know, that is for some stupid UNIX mail programs (which use the mbox msg
database format). However, there's no need for ">", a space is completely
sufficient and invisible, if the HTML is displayed (as long as not in a <pre>
element).
I suggest to also use a space instead of ">" in plain text; this wouldn't alter
the meaning so much ("> at the beginning of a line is used to mark quotes). Or
is there something I'm missing?
