Not without seeing a message. Using your Tbird, select one of these
messages as received by you from the list, then select 'Message
Source' from the View menu. Then in the source view either select,
copy and paste into a reply, all the headers of the message including
the boundaries and part headers if the message is multipart, or select
File->Save Page As and save it to a file with a .txt extension and
attach that to a reply. If you wish, you may edit addresses, domains
and message body for privacy, but we need to see the message headers
and MIME structure if any of the message.
