As a comparison, have a look through your menus for "view source" and
see what a message looks like before Thunderbird converts it into its
own HTML rendition of the message (regardless of whether it was
HTML or
plain text).
Thunderbirds re-rendering of messages is yet another reason that
I don't like it.
I did a "view source" and after trawling through all the headers to
get to what looks like your response there is no plain text and no
html, it displays like encrypted data, there is nothing visible at
all the matches your text.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
The plain text is encoded as base64.
Thanks Samuel, I understood that the mails were mime encoded, but
when I viewed the source to see whether when I previewed or opened
the mail I was looking at plain text or a html version which is my
preferred version, I was expecting to see the body of the email as
either plain text or html tags, particularly when viewing the mail
makes it look like the client is working with html.
The funny thing with your emails is that the plain text part is base64
encoded and the html part is not.
That's interesting, I would have expected both to be the same. I used to
use the "Auto" compose option, which supposedly sends the mail as plain
text if there is no formatting otherwise it sends it as html, but after
I think you requested that I stop sending through html, I changed the
option to send both html and text for the relevant client to decide
which one it was going to use, hence I would have expected both to be
encoded, which I thought was a mail standard.
I'm using a version of Thunderbird that is several versions ahead of
what's in the Fedora repositories, and I think I'm on the mail list for
Thunderbird, so I'll raise it on there to see if I get any feedback.
There's nothing wrong with it. base64 encoding is normal. I just
thought it was funny that only the plain text was encoded like that.
