By isolating the attacker from that info, you make him try the whole menu 
instead of handing him a zero day on a silver platter.

So find it in the help docs Basil.  I have looked, diligently, the subject 
isn't even there, let alone the procedure.  I tried to make tbird work my 
way on my lappy for several months combined when I was last on the road 
playing CE at 2 different tv station facilities.  I wound up just letting 
it put everything in the inbox because I could NOT find a way to change it.

IIRC, the INBOX was mailfile, not maildir.  But thats a faint memory now as 
I long ago converted all of my kmail folders to maildir.

Yes it did, and it apparently selected the html version of the message for 
the display.  That message was a hair over 8k total, each section about 4k, 
duplicated, very poorly in plain text in one mime boundary, and in quite 
good html inside another mime boundary.

Fire up kmail, select the message, and hit 'v' to see it in all its raw, 
screwed up glory.  Tbird may have a similar magic keystroke but I am not 
that familiar with it.  For that, I'll let the TBird experts demo if it 
exists.
