there's half a precedent, but i get to file a bug later for the other half.

Anyway, subscribe to the washington post rss feeds
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/rssheadlines.xml

Then select an article, e.g.:
Message-Id:
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2814-2004Nov21.html?nav=rss_metro@localhost.localdomain>
From: <Tim Craig>
Subject: Waiting Lists for Montgomery Aid Grow
Content-Base:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2814-2004Nov21.html?nav=rss_metro

[Actual Results:] The message is layed out in the message pane with a collapsed
header:

Subject: Waiting Lists for Montgomery Aid Grow            From: <Tim Craig>

But, Tim Craig didn't send a mail to me, or really anyone else, Tim Craig is the
author of the article, and that's really what the item should say

(tested w/ Thunderbird trunk nightlies for winXP and macosx)

Expected Results
Subject: Waiting Lists for Montgomery Aid Grow            Author: <Tim Craig>
