Using: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206) for Windows XP
It took me quite awhile to figure out that an email from a friend with photos
from our last ski trip were sent by the message/partial mechanism. The
attachments to both emails just showed up as "attachment" in Thunderbird, but
looking at the source, I saw nothing wrong with the attachments on the first
message. After fiddling around for quite some time with the first message, I
finally looked at the second one and noticed in the header (UserName changed
from original name):
Content-Type: message/partial;
total=2;
id="01C4CE8C.4A640A30@UserName";
number=2
I believe that message/partial is part of RFC1341
[http://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1341.txt]. Would be great if Thunderbird could
handle this intelligently. I still haven't got those attachments out of
Thunderbird!
I'll gladly upload both emails if someone wants me to. They are about 2mb total.

AFAIK Outlook Express and Bat 2.x both produce such split mails
if configured to do so and also automatically restore them into
single message when all parts are received

Is a DUP of bug 71189 which has existed for some years.
Would be nice if it would be fixed, but probably not very easy.
(sequencing the parts, what do do if parts are missing, etc)

It's already implemented in TheBat!. It would be nice if Thunderbird would be
doing at least like TheBat! (partial messages are separated messages until all
messages arrive).
