I've just discovered that either tbird  is busted, or its missing
whatever it takes to display a properly mimetyped base64 encoded content.

What do I install to make this work, I'm looking at an empty screen when
the raw msg has bout 10k of base64'd content.

bullseye, intel i5, uptodate yesterday.

Maybe https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1777439 ?

.
This seems to be NNTP related. But this is imap email, and no errors are
reported, it simply does not decode and display base64'd content that
appears to be properly MIMETYPED, boundary lines present and matched.
Maybe show the headers of the problem email, because I've read
Thunderbird is strict in that regard.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

here is the msg up to the first line of the base64:

Are the blank lines between the headers verbatim from the source?

iirc, headers (that is, the lot of them) are supposed to be terminated by a 
blank line (double line break) before message content/multipart 
boundaries/blocks begin, so that may be part of the problem.  Do the headers of 
other base64 messages look like this?

Thanks
Gareth

You're right of coarse, and yes, that was a straight copy paste from a geany session on the saved message, so all that double line spacing was part of the incoming message. So their copy of javamail, whatever the heck that is, is sending bogus emails. That double spaced mime-boundary is sick bird. I had forgotten that. Thank you for reminding me.
