denI'm switching over to Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client. How do I make Thunderbird display an html email as it is supposed to be viewed and not as a pile of unreadable code?

Date: 2 Jun 2004 21:07 (UTC)My copy of Thunderbird just shows nothing for mails like that, though (Mail seems to work fine). You could try Changing Content-type manually (including boundary="---blahblah" which is possibly on the next line) to text/html (this requires editing the mailbox in, say, Notepad, since I haven't found a mail client with a decent "edit message" yet).
The better way is to make a "temp" mailbox, copy the affected messages there, close Thunderbird, edit them all, delete temp.msf (it's the message index or so), and then re-open the mailbox, and replace the screwed-up messages. (The worse way is to edit the mail in the original mailbox, but since you have to delete the index, you lose the status on messages, such as 'read' or 'replied' or stuff.)
