I'm trying to import my mailboxes from Eudora 5.1. Messages without attachments
are imported fine, but for every message with an attachment, if I preview the
message in the preview pane in Thunderbird or open the message by double
clicking on it, the message text does not show up -- instead, it appears as an
additional attachment (typically called "Part 1.1").
However if I select "Edit as new" then in the compose window the text _does_
show up properly.
Here's a copy of a message which exhibits this problem; this is taken from the
original Eudora mbx file. Actual addresses have been removed.

Doesn't seem to have any impact, except a revision register which is
not checked by the driver.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a .mbx file containing the message shown in the Detail section (the
one taken from the Eudora .mbx file).
2. Import that mailbox from Thunderbird.
3. Try to open the message.
Actual Results:
Thunderbird displays (both in preview pane and in the actual message window) a
blank message with no text and three, instead of two attachments. The
'additional' attachment is called "Part 1.1" and seems to contain the message
text. Selecting "Edit as new" shows the message properly (text shows up as such
and there are two attachments only)
Expected Results:
Thunderbird should display the message text as such, instead of adding it as an
additional attachment.
Not sure whether this is a Thunderbird-specific bug or a general Mozilla Mail
issue, but I'm seeing other import issues being filed under the Thunderbird
component, so here it goes.

I can reproduce this bug reliably too, importing several thousand messages
(maybe it's a mass problem?) In my case it's Eudora 6.1, but since the mailbox
format used by Eudora did not change lately, this information is probably
irrelevant.

I don't really know if MailNews has the same problem. I only tested Thunderbird.
I just was not sure what 'component' to file this under..
