User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

I have my setting set to view messages as plain text.

I receive an HTML formatted email message and click on it to display it, but it
is not displayed at all.

I double-click the message to open it up in its own window, and it is displayed
although if there are many parts (ie. forwarded -> forwarded -> etc), some of
those sections are truncated.

If I select to view messages as original HTML, they still do not show up if I
click on them unless I have "view headers" enabled.

If I double click on a message in this "view original HTML" case, then it is
displayed normally regardless of the view header setting.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on a mail message
2. experience ... nothing ...
3. double click on a mail message and see it in its own window

Actual Results:  
Please see the "Details" section.

Expected Results:

Which build of Thunderbird are you using?

Can you provide the message for examination?  (Save as a .EML file, attach the 
file to this bug using the Create New Attachment link above.)

You mean "View | Headers | All" instead of Normal?  Or do you mean you've 
collapsed the header panel by clicking the twisty next to "Subject"?
