Dangit.
If I had to guess, I would guess that Thunderbird is composing HTML
email, and then translating it to plain text, with trailing spaces
being lost during that translation. Including the trailing space on
the signature separator.
Makes sense. Does anyone using Thunderbird _not_ get trailing spaces
stripped, or is it just me?
Just to double-check,
Your tests all worked. However, I looked at the the copy of the previous
message I received, and all the tests (including the one with no trailing
spaces) had one trailing whitespace character. So my attachment that showed
a correct separator was invalid.
I saved the email in question (Tbird only saves as *.eml, whatever that is)
and the test lines all ended with CR LF, no spaces. Same deal in the copy
in my "sent" folder. So the stripping is happening locally.
