The following is especially annoying on XML / HTML / XSL / etc user groups and mailing lists. When I create a new plain-text message and type the following message in Thunderbird 9.0.1:
Check this code:
<hello>
<world />
</hello>
it will be received as
Check this code:
<hello>
<world />
</hello>
Oddly enough, this behavior doesn't happen when a sentence doesn't start with a <
-symbol. In my own Sent-folder the leading spaces are removed too. When I send as HTML mail, the problem doesn't appear. Does anybody know of a way around this?
EDIT: result of extensive comment-discussion have been moved into the body of the text.
leading spaces are all there...
