Thunderbird mail display problem

[Entity]

Sometimes when I get messages in Thunderbird, a single pixel displays at the bottom -- it looks like a period trailing the end of the email. I can't figure out what is causing it -- does anyone get this?

When I read the same message in webmail, I don't see the period at all. It is selectable, so it seems like it's text that gets added on for some reason.

It's an iframe that is being blocked because you reduced HTML rendering. Sometimes, that iframe contains IE/outlook exploits too.

Hmm. The mail is coming from an appliacation I wrote in PHP, and I don't call for any iframes at all -- it's a standard text email.

Which would explain why you don't see it in webmail.

Simple code that generates the offending mail message:

global $changepass;
$from = "accounts@real-active.com";
$from_name = "Real-Active.com Password Assistance";
$subject = "Real-Active.com Password Assistance";
$headers = "From: $from\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from\n";
$message = "Greetings from Real-Active.com.\n\n";
$message .= "Click the link below to go to Step 3 to reset your password:\n\n";
$message .= $changepass . "?string=" . $string;
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "If clicking the link doesn't work for you, you can copy and paste it into your ";
$message .= "browser's window or retype it there. You will be given instructions on how to finish ";
$message .= "resetting your account's password from that link.";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Thank you for visiting RealActive!\n";
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hit ctrl+u and see if you can identify what's causing the dot.

Nothing unusual shows up; it even looks like the dot is supposed to be there.

This happens when I send emails to addresses hosted on my dathorn.com account. I don't know why.

I sent the same message to an account at washington.edu (student account) and another at geekfitness.com, and the one at geekfitness.com shows a dot -- the one at washington.edu doesn't.

However, when logged into webmail the geekfitness one doesn't show the dot.

Message was sent as standard text.

Odd. Could you send me that email? You can reach me on ICQ for my email addy. Alternately... post the whole HTML source or go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org - file a bug under Thunderbird.
