Can't display text messaging -

[Bob Goodwin ~ Zuni, Virginia, USA]

This system updated today, Thunderbird 35.5.0 can not display text 
messages sent from an iPhone.

Message source shows the following:

Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 22:22:11 +0000
MIME-Version:1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
  type="application/smil";
  boundary="__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__"


My BCC from this F-22b computer displays as usual. Another computer 
running Fedora-21 and Thunderbird 31.6.0 displays the messages.

I use this to exchange a number of messages via VZWPIX.COM daily. I can 
get by looking at the message source but would like to fix it. Trying 
various settings in MIME editor hasn't helped, it defaults to 
"application/smil+xml    Default    video"

It looks like I should try replacing Thunderbird with an earlier version ...

Any suggestion appreciated,

Bob
