Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

My signature file - that is formated with \n newlines, since i use Linux - is copyed to the emails without the newlines. (probably the routine that attaches the signature to the message is expecting \r\n newlines)

This happens also in ubuntu 9.04

I compared the message code between the one generated by kmail and thunderbid. There is one header that differs. In kmail the header is:

Content-type: text/plain
 charset="us-ascii"

which leads to a correct formating

The header created by thunderbird is:

Content-type: text/plain
 charset="ISO-8859-15"
 format=flowed

Here all the newlines of the signature a are lost.

already found the solution. You have to set the mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed property to false.

This still happens in version of Thunderbird (17.0.7) released to Ubuntu Precise, both 64 & 32 bit.
PS How do I set the mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed property to false?

To anyone affected by this bug,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Thunderbird since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

I've tested using Ubuntu 18.04 and Thunderbird 60.2.1 and I don't see an issue here.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
