Both your email I'm replying to, and the previous one, arrived with the first of every pair of two spaces you entered turned into a non-breaking one.
OK.
It might be possible to test this by enteringLiberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. into a Thunderbird draft, then selecting it and pasting it into ‘pr -tv’ to see if the first space has already been corrupted.
I wasn't able to successfully use pr because it tried to treat the text as a file: terry@OptiPlex:~$ pr -t -v "Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it." pr: 'Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.': No such file or directory I'm not sure what I was doing wrong because I was able to process other strings using incantations that I found on the web, but as soon as I tried the above it failed as shown. This was whether I had cycled the text through Thunderbird or not. When you posted the link to the bug report a day or two ago, I was rather busy, and ended up missing it. Anyway, as you say, I'm not going to be able to change my ways, so I'm afraid that things will stay the same until the Thunderbird team decide to fix it. Of course, I could go back to KMail :-) and put up with *their* unfixed bugs, which are much worse. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2025-01-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:[email protected]
