Jevering and I (well mostly jevering) finally found why certain messages weren't getting a message body for him. turns out, in 4.5x he has the following pref set to false: "mail.inline_attachments" So this pref got migrated over into 5.0. Apprently if this pref is false, and you show a message with an inline attachment, we fail to show the message at all!!! This is very very bad. And unfortunately, in 5.0 there is no way in the UI to change this pref back to true. I'm trying to debug this right now although I'm sure rich could find it faster than me so I'll leave him as the owner for this. Nominating for beta1 as there is no workaround for folks who have this pref set in 4.5 and get it migrated over. And they can't read these messages.

Hello gang! This is fixed in my tree. Turned out that we were getting bit by an old pref that is no longer relevant. It's all better now. - rhp
