Odd.  If I copy and paste from Thunderbird, its fine.  But if I
save the body out as an attachment from mutt, it fails.

I wonder if it has to do with the From header appearing in the top
of the body; this header has to be escaped with a leading space in
mbox format.  It looks like Thunderbird might be doing some magic to
remove that leading space from the context lines, while mutt isn't.

FYI: the Thunderbird version included this header:
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

The format=flowed part shows that Thunderbird is reformatting
whitespace. You can disable that:

Thanks, this was indeed helpful. I was relying on the "Toggle Word
Wrap" extension [1] to handle this, but apparently it only changes how
the *sender* sees the message, but does not remove "format=flowed" if
word wrap is turned off. I've sent an according suggestion to the
extension's author.
