I think I've found an explanation, but no fix. There are two 
'MIMEStream' end boundaries, and I think TB is getting confused by that. 
For example, this message I don't see:

********** start message *************

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; 
boundary="MIMEStream=_0+74462_81041915932686_05098056881"

Kind of like Amazon and iTunes make it possible to access obscure content,
that is not available to people in other ways, MythTV lets people watch
obscure shows in prime time.

I just tend to think that one of the main features of a PVR is that you can
watch political commentaries or real estate or cooking shows or whatever you
like, so that you don't have to watch mainstream fare as much.

I was looking at the program finder and the variety of available programming
is astonishing. Now multiply by the number of different cable/satellite 
carriers.

I guess I tend to agree that the traditional 80/20 rule does not apply to
electronic mediums such as PVRs.

In other words, I don't think that you can satisfy 80% of people by
fingerprinting just 20% of the most popular shows, as conventional wisdom
would have you think.

Instead of a dozen shows, each with a million viewers
think of a million shows, each with a dozen viewers



Disclamer:
the ideas presented above are heavily borrowed from a wired magazine

i read awhile back

And this one I do see:

Okay, so what do I have to set to be able to see the message then?
Because I am using TB nightly from a few days ago and I can't see
anything except the signature.

********** end message *************

I have asked about this in the Thunderbird forum, we'll see if anything 
comes of it.
