Reply to a plaintext message using plaintext compose. Spaces, in the quoted
text passed to the editor's InsertAsQuotation routine, have been mapped to
unprintable characters with the high bit set, and don't display as spaces on
many mailers, including our own (they display as question marks for me).
This doesn't seem to happen every time, but when it does it makes plaintext mail
unusable. I'm investigating.

I've seen them turned into character 0x3f (?) and into a regular space with the
high bit set.
Marking beta1 (can't use plaintext mail if people can't read your replies) and
regression.

Not sure what changed, but I will look into it. I have a feeling something is
going wrong when I need to strip CRLF's from the string to insert because the
DOM doesn't (or didn't) deal with CRLF's.

Ok, I have this fixed in my tree. If this is PDT worthy, I can check it in anytime.

Rich's fix seems to work in my Linux build (I'll continue to test to be sure).
PDT team, PLEASE mark this PDT+, since plaintext mail isn't usable without it.

We were needlessly converting entities in plain text...removing that fixed the
problem.

The problem has been fixed. Replying to a plaintext message using plaintext
compose, the space in the quoted text looks fine in display and in printing.

I think, rhp's fix for this bug was not to use the flowed class for quoting.
This opened bug 39370, which I'm trying to fix now (patch attached there).
Does somebody (akk?) remember how to reproduce this bug, so I can make sure I
don't cause a regression on this bug?

OK, nobody gave a reproduction. It looks fine to me, I never saw the bug,
neither with or without my patches. I will just let it being checked in and then
ask fenella to VERIFY this bug again.

I know I did it back on 2/29/2000. But I have not re-verified it yet.
