It seems to me that F-22 is just not dealing correctly with that applications-smil? What ever it is goes with the o/s not the thunderbird application.

FWIW, I copied the text of the message from the above and placed it in a file call "test.eml".

I used T-Bird 31.6.0 on F21 and successfully opened the "saved message".

I then used T-Bird 31.5.0 which I installed on my F22-Beta system via "dnf install thunderbird".  It too opened the message correctly.

So, I'm not convinced it is a T-Bird issue.  Sounds more like something strange about your system.
