I'm using TB 2.0.0.14 with the Webmail (1.3.2) addon, combined with the
Yahoo (1.3.4) addon. Yahoo is set to BETA website and I receive mails
without problems, but when I get a mail from MySpace it's messed up. All
I can see is this gibberish:

<http://i36.tinypic.com/1snj1t.png>

When I press Cltrl+U to look at the source I can see the text without
problems and it seems to be in UTF-8:

| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

When I go to the menu View > Character encoding I can see Unicode
(UTF-8) is checked, so I think my settings are correct. But why do I see
this gibberish then? Is there some way I can fix this?

For the record, I know about
<http://groups.google.be/group/thunderbird-webmail-extension> but a
search there didn't provide me with an answer and I really don't feel
like signing up to a Google Groups group...

Try this;
right click on the message text area, select Decoders, select base64.

Sorry to say, but rightclicking doesn't show that menu-item. Only

I'm guessing you have the Mnenhy addon installed?

I googled for base64 and TB and apparently, it wasn't supported in
2005/2006 and TB was tagging mails in base64 as spam. I'm unsure if
base64 is supported now; I can only find TB uses it for passwords...

Yes, the Mnenhy extension is installed.

As example, I've got a message with:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

That part is decoded in readable text on display.

Hmmz, then I guess TB still doesn't support base64 by default. :-(
