Title:
  Reply sometimes randomly appends unrelated message below quoted
  message

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When displaying an email in Thunderbird, hitting the Reply button
  opens a new window containing a quoted version of the email you are
  replying to. That is what you expect to happen. However, rarely and
  intermittently in the same reply window, an unquoted version of the
  body of the most recently written email appears underneath the quoted
  email you are replying to.

  There is no clear pattern as to when it happens. It has been happening
  intermittently in all versions of Thunderbird from the 14.0 in Precise
  12.04 to whatever version it was in Lucid 10.04. The Thunderbird error
  log / console is usually empty when it happens. It has happened in
  plain Thunderbird with the default Ubuntu theme version 14.0 and
  without any addons. Some kind of paste buffer management is going
  wrong and picking up a copy of a previous message (but it happens even
  without using cut-and-paste)?

  Here is an example of how it looks after hitting the Reply button while displaying an email from JaneL@xxxxxxxx:
  This is meant to be a reply to JaneL's email, but notice there is an unwanted copy of the body of another recently written email to John that has been appended as one line of plain text underneath the quoted version of JaneL's email.
  This unwanted appending is very easy not to notice, meaning there is a real risk of accidentally passing on unrelated email to unintended recipients, creating a breach of privacy or worse, which is a security issue for those involved. Please investigate and fix.
