View (Alt-V) - Message Body As - Original HTML

walexander
walexander Question owner

Yodel Christ1, This occurs on multiple emails and 'Message Body As' has always been marked with 'Original HTML'. This started occurring after some Windows 7 updates. I think it's internal Thunderbird code. Hoping others have the same issue will get someone to look at the Thunderbird code. Yodel Bill.
