Spaces changed when quoting operators

[David Henningsson]

Sometimes when I quote a message, the spacing is changed, especially when I quote code. E g, if the original poster wrote this:

+ if (pa_atou(pc + 1, &p) < 0 || p <= 0 || p >= 0x10000) {

When I choose to reply to this message, it gets quoted as this:

> + if (pa_atou(pc + 1,&p)< 0 || p<= 0 || p>= 0x10000) {

As you can see, "p >=" has been changed to "p>=" (space removed), and "&p) < 0" has been changed to "&p)< 0" (space moved from before "<" to after, so there are two spaces between "&p)<" and "0").

It does not seem to happen for all emails, so I'm not sure what actually triggers this misquoting. But given a particular email, it is consistent (i e, if I choose to reply to the same email twice, it either happens both times or not at all).

Here is an example email that triggers this misquoting. I've cut the "received-by" headers for privacy reasons.

Hello David,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
