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.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363154
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.
View Message Source is showing you the source of the mail message.
The way the RSS support in Thunderbird works is by converting each
item in the feed into a mail message. One of the things I did was
change slightly the format of that conversion. This means that the
mail message stored in the mailbox is different.

Thanks David, View source shows the "feed header" ,for lack of a better
term, that your checkin modified. (I was assuming that it was generated
by the feed provider..my bad) Should have looked closer before asking
dumb questions.
