Perhaps someone with a few spare cycles can enlighten me on this.
I always thought that "view message source" was an actual decode of the
original source code that generated an html document.
David Baron checked in a fix (thanks for that David) for RSS feeds in
Thunderbird that led me to the conclusion that this is not so.

Viewing message source with Thunderbird builds before and after the fix
shows different content.(although the actual content did not really change)
My conclusion is that "view message source" is just a "view" of the DOM
tree as interpreted by Gecko, and not a real representation of the
actual source code.
