When you send a message with lines that have only CRLF, the send operation removes these vertical spaces which causes MIME decoding problems.

Fix checked in. Note, this bug only occurred when you were doing text compose. Jean-Francois just turned on html compose the other day. So you must turn off html compose in order to test this. You can do this by setting the following pref: user_pref("mail.identity.id1.send_html", false); Then send yourself a message with several line returns in it like: a b line3 line 4... Now send the message and then get the msg. Verify that the extra blank lines you inserted are preserved in the msg. b4 this bug fix they wouldn't have been

Using 19990518 builds on win95 and linux and adding the line mentioned above in prefs50.js file, this is fixed. Spaces are preserved. Verified
Just a note: when changing to plain text (adding the above mentioned line to prefs50.js) typing the text in the plain text compose window doesn't show the <returns> as blank lines they display as spaces between the characters, but when viewing that message after being sent we see the blank lines between the characters. I'll check with mscott to see if that's a separate bug during the compose.
esther, the display problem in the compose window when typing a new line is a ender's known bug #6242 (http:// bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6242)
Moving all Mail/News Networking bugs to Mail/News Networking-Mail This may re-open previously Verified bugs due to a Bugzilla bug...if so, I will fix those bugs.

Using 19990816M9 builds on win98, mac and linux, testing the New Msg window in Plain text mode and HTML mode this works, however with win98 and mac, a big carat is left in each of the blank lines during compose (see bug 10683). This bug is verified.
