Content-type: application/octet-stream; 

I believe that's the problem; it's an incorrect content type

Here is another one that doesn't open.  The content-type seems correct in it:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_1137183159-21311-120"
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.44

This is a multi-part message in MIME format...

Completely removed Thunderbird and re-installed.  Problem no longer exists.
