I do love Mozilla, and hope that you solve that glitch. I do develop real time embedded software and mostly stuff related to firmware, ROM-BIOs, kernels and all those ugly things I love; tell me what kind of stuff should I get into to help you folks with volunteer work on Mozilla Firefox (pearl? Java? html?) tell me, please.
You can call me at 408-348-8345 for more explanations if you so desire.
That's not a correctly formatted HTML message, that's a MHTML message, which includes the images too. Firefox doesn't support that - it's Internet Explorer specific. and it's used to save an entire webpage in a single file (images included). Note that it's also served with the text/plain MIME-type (probably because of the .mht extension), although Firefox expects a text/html one. Even if Firefox would recognize the content, it would still be forced to display it as plain text (with the codes and all).
