Confirming that this is still a bug in 68.5.0 (32 bit).
Work-around is to save the attachment, open it in Notepad++, decode the base64 and save in another file, open that file in TB.

Can this be addressed? The MIME library used in p≡p produces message attachments in base64 which Thunderbird can't display.
Also please add bug 293475 to the list of duplicates. Apparently this was fixed for Gnome's Evolution (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651197) and is handled correctly by other MUAs (see bug 293475 comment #0).

It's questionable whether base64 is valid here, see: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046#section-5.2.1. But then that's clearly superseded since "The message header fields are always US-ASCII in any case" is not longer true as RFC 6532 allows raw UTF-8 headers. This should also be blocking bug 1405234.

It is indeed invalid. https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/2d7ba685276279da8ba4d01b5081e4420c897398/mailnews/mime/src/mimei.cpp#817-820. Patches welcome.
Though the library producing those messages should preferably be fixed.

Was this ever done?
