I recently switched over to Postbox as my primary work email client and I noticed that some of the emails that I received in HTML earlier were now coming through as Plain text. I checked the “View” options and despite switching between “Original HTML”, “Simple HTML” & “Plain Text” – it still only showed the plain-text mime type.
These are from emails generated on a Coldfusion server. Some research revealed that this is because in the multipart emails, I was sending the HTML portion above the plain text portion and upon switching it, the emails look just fine. Thunderbird (and its cousin Postbox) just display the last alternative in the email. I did a massive find and replace but it looks like there were only few instances where we had the HTML portion above the text portion
On a side note: If Thunderbird and these OSS websites had Twitter accounts, I would have pinged them about this bug but its too much of a pain to dig through Bugzilla to file this as a bug.
