message/eternal-body (mimeebod.cpp)

Hi,
I was trying to see if Thunderbird parses
Content-Type: message/external-body
but so far I wasn't successful in building an email that Thunderbird
parses correctly.
I tried it with different access-types (anon-ftp, local-file, url).
I used the examples in the RFCs [1][2] as basis for my test emails.
[1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046#section-5.2.3
[2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2017
When storing (Save as...) the attachments of my test emails, it resulted
in empty files or the warning: "The attachment appears to be empty. [...]"
Looking at the sourcecode, message/external-body seams to be implemented
(including the URL access-type - RFC2017) in:
mailnews/mime/src/mimeebod.cpp
Could someone provide an example of an message/external-body email that
Thunderbird parses?
Thanks!
Christoph
