The following was sent as a single line of code with no new line after "adc:" : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'OUT_vMuxedAddr',dec2bin(6,3),... % connects Vs_Mon0 to adc: NS_ReadADC('VMM_Muxed') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above text should have been a single line of code with a comment at the end. Line wrapping turned it into two lines (the space after the colon was lost pasting here (using firefox) but was maintained in notepad along with the false newline). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Recieve an email with a long line that has spaces in it 2.Read email and notice line wrapping 3.Copy line, including wrapped portion 4.Paste in text editor like notepad.exe. Wrapping-generated newline shows up as a new newline Actual Results: two lines Expected Results: one line Copying and pasting from the exact same email using gmail (in Firefox) worked correctly (only one line even where line wrapping occurs)
Ryan, can your reproduce with v5 or v6?

I have not been able to reproduce the problem in version 6.

I take that back. I forgot that the incoming email must be a plain text email (I should have mentioned that in my step 1), otherwise Thunderbird will not apply the word wrap when viewing. The problem does exist the same as before

There is something going on with the character sequence colon, space. Here are my steps to reproduce: Format flowed set to true Plaintext compose 1 Start typing a line of text 2 include the sequence colon, space 3 continue to type until you exceed the wrap length (default=72) 4 notice that the line wraps at the colon, space point after 72 characters View the source to see that text has been wrapped at the colon space point. Actual viewing with format flowed covers the line wrap up due to the trailing space (I presume) So is the sequence colon, space being interpreted as a soft line break? Seems to be a valid bug to me.
