Seems this weirdness is caused by format=flowed option on the emails
I sent. To disable, change via abot:config in Thunderbird.

mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false
mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support=true


In Thunderbird 1.5 or later, about:config is accessed via
"Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor (button)".

After this the tabs in my previous emails should show as tabs.
(after restarting Thunderbird)


But from now on I'll be using git-send-email which doesn't
have format=flowed, so patches from me should no longer be an
issue, even without the above changes.
