I have an issue with Thunderbird that I'd like to describe while we have
the developers ear.

I was sent a patch which had a sequence of control characters in it.

To save an emailed patch, I normally write click in the message body and
choose 'Save As...'.  Thunderbird populates the 'Name:' field for the
name of the saved file with a name based on the subject, which I like.

But, in this case, Thunderbird corrupted the original message and saved
something that was not equivalent to what was sent.  Naturally, the patch
could not be applied, and after investigating, it was determined that
Thunderbird was responsible.  If I instead choose View -> 'Message Source'
and then in the window that pops up choose File -> 'Save Page As', and then
give it a name, I do indeed get the original uncorrupted message, but it
is _not_ convenient.

This is Thunderbird v2.0.0.19.
Is this a bug? Or is there something I can set or disable so that Thunderbird
saves the original contents when right clicking in the message body and
selecting 'Save As...'?

I will follow up with an example patch which has the control characters in
it.
