Bug#515758: icedove: modifies text in attachments

[Christoph Seipel]

Package: icedove
Version: 1.5.0.13+1.5.0.15b.dfsg1+prepatch080614d-0etch1
Severity: important

When sending an email with attached textfile, icedove modifies the text
within this file. This can cause serious problems, as for example
tex-files can't be compiled by the receiver.
For example sending a file named "test.tex" with the following content:
-------------
blabla
>From blabla
blabla
------------
icedove modifies this to:
-------------
blabla
>From blabla
blabla
------------

This problem also occurs with version 2.0.0.19 (in lenny).
