Created attachment 378765 [details] A base64 encoded email Description of problem: An email that is base64 encoded is not decoded. Making it somewhat difficult to read. Using another mail client allows me to read that email just fine, leading me to believe that it is thunderbird, not the email itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-3.0-3.fc11.x86_64 thunderbird-lightning-1.0-0.11.20090715hg.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime I receive a base64 encoded email Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get base64 email 2. attempt to read 3. scratch head Actual results: Thunderbird will show the contents of the email like this: VVBEQVRFIGludmVuX21hbmFnZW1lbnRfcG8gU0VUIGN1c3RfYmluID0gJ0kwMi0wMS0wMicgIFdI RVJFIHBvX2tleSA9MTE2NDQ5IEFORCBsaW5lbnVtID0gNDA= Expected results: Decode my message! Like evolution does. Additional info: Sample base64 encoded message attached. It appears a perl script that uses MIME::Lite to send messages to me is especially good at creating base64 emails that thunderbird happily forgets to decode.
