Bug Description
When I compose a reply to any message, the newlines placed around the quote are incorrectly formatted. I am using "reply above the quote", and I only get a single newline above the quote, but there's two newlines below the quote. This means I always have to click around and press "Enter" and "Delete" a few times to reformat every email reply I compose.
I think this is a regression moving to Thunderbird 13.x. I see the issue on both Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04.
I will try to add some screenshots to demonstrate.

Steps to reproduce:
Reply to a message with the "reply above" option set
Actual results:
TB used to include at least one blank line before the reply section, now it jams the reply right up against the first line of the reply area.
Expected results:
Leave at least one blank line, or make the amount of space configurable.
