NOT (no longer?) reproducible with Server-Installation of  unofficial (by FRG) en-US SeaMonkey 2.50a1 (NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 Build 20161219235428  (Default Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit:

1. Download Attachment 660859 [details] for Bug 790993
2. Launch SeaMonkey Email client
3. Menu 'File → Open File  → "Bug Example - formatting reveal.eml"
   » Message opens in separate Window
4. Toggle 'View → Headers'
   » As expected view changes, 2 lines in header disappear / reappear
5. Try all 3 possibilites for 'View → Message body as'
   » view changes as expected
	
Any concerns to close this one?
