Ok, it appears to be caused by the indentation of the first line after <body>. Modified HTML code of the test case:

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
First line<br>
Second line<br>
</body>
</html>

results in no indentation of the first line. If I add back some space before "First" and "Second" without other changes, the "First" will be indented.

I've tested that scenario by sending an HTML-only message like this, then using View > Message Body As > Plain Text to force serialization to plain text.

E-mails sent with current stable Thunderbird 3.0.5 does not exhibit the leading spaces, the generated HTML code looks like the one pasted above, thus the result looks ok on either branch. Thus, somewhere the HTML generation code in either serializer or editor added the indentation levels for the HTML, thus exposing the issue on the serializer side.
