Hi woest85, By reading this thread, it became apparent that the cause of the problem is Microsoft breaking the View Message Source option in Hotmail. So I tried that in both Firefox and IE; IE presented me with an error that GetMessageSource.aspx could not be downloaded. When I did a search in Google on "GetMessageSource.aspx" I found the thread at windowslivehelp.com I referred to, and I simply tried if the work around for Firefox applied to Thunderbird as well (since they both use the Gecko engine). And it worked!
