This is regarding messages that have alternative encodings (eg, text/plain and 
text/html specified by a MIME multipart/alternative Content-Type header.

When these are listed in my inbox, they have the attachment icon (paper-clip) 
even though the multiple parts of the message are really the same content (in 
different forms).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive a message with Content-Type: multipart/alternative
2. go to list view
Actual Results:  
the message had an attachment indicator


Expected Results:  
no attachment indicator

I'm attaching an e-mail which manifests the problem.

This bug report has been corroborated by a post in the MozillaZine forums:
  http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=77075

While this is a bug in Thunderbird, I think it comes from Mozilla bug #234980.
