You could look to see whether there are 6 lines in the hunk or 7.
There should only be 6.
i.e. something like:

I have attached the original patch. The headers will be different, and in the
attached patch they are only placeholders, but the content after the '---' should
be identical in all versions.

main menu or context menu both produce the same results for me.
Do they produce different results for you?

Sorry, but I think you did your comparison wrong. Possibly the tool
which extracted the email from the cyrus server performed the same
transformation that Thunderbird does.
You can also make a comparison with what is saved when you do
'View | Message Source' which pops up a new window, and then
File | Save Page As...
For me, they produce two different results. The one produced by
'View | Message Source ..etc' has a message body which is identical to
the one saved by pine, and to the original which is attached.
