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

No, I had a hard drive fail, had to re-install, and the beta version appeared that same day, so I tried it. I had intended to wait for the final.
However this works well enough so that I will continue to use it, can make do with work arounds ...

On that page, click on the "Descendants build" link: "buildArch (thunderbird-31.6.0-1.fc22.src.rpm, x86_64)"
You'll find there a link for: thunderbird-31.6.0-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
Next you know what to do?

The failed drive was a WD Black, WD6401AALS, Date: 21 Oct 2010.
It was a "refurbished" bargain, as best I can remember, from Newegg and I used it for a couple of years.

5 years, I didn't check that. It should have six months to go, maybe I can return it? I'll check on that ...

You mentioned another computer running Fedora-21, right? So copy the "~/.thunderbird" from it, and run Tbird with it. Check with both, v38 beta2 and 31.6.0-1.

Neither thunderbird version works right in F22b.
31.6.0 works in the F21 computer but does not work in this F22 box. It seems improbable that moving another copy of the same thing is going to work an differently. 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.
It's an annoyance as it is but I can work with it until it "gets better.":-)

I don't know where to report the problem but it certainly seems to be something if Fedora 22.
Thunderbird 31.6.0 will not display the subject or text from an iPhone text message in F-22b, the same message displays normally in in F-21 with Thunderbird 31.6.0.
Thunderbird 38.0 will not display the subject or text from an iPhone text message in F-22b.
Claws 3.11.1 will not display the subject or text from an iPhone text message in F-22b.
It appears that it may not be dealing with "application/smil" properly? Here is the last part of what I see in document source:

Again that same message displays normally in Fedora 21. None of the 3,086 text messages saved, except my cc's, will display in F-22 either.
Those are my observations, how should I report them, bugzilla?

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.

In the course of troubleshooting the problem I updated both computers to 31.6.0, F21 and F22. Initially it did not work on F22 which is what got me off on this tangent. It doesn't matter what version of t-bird, the text wont display in F22, I have thousands saved, what displayed in this computer with every Fedora for the last few years will not display in F22b.
It looks like a problem to me. If I am right others will complain eventually and it will get fixed. In the mean time I can read it from the source or use another computer.
Thank you for looking at my problem,
Bob

I think you should change the wording to say "the text won't display in F22 for me". :-) :-) As I don't see any issue, maybe others will try what I did and confirm that it works or doesn't work for them.
BTW, if I recall correctly you have some vision issues. Have you tried to highlight the area where the text should be appearing just to check if there isn't a "contrast" issue.

Yes, I agree, I have this problem and it may be unique, I also respect your opinion knowing from past experience that you are usually right when you choose to comment.
One other symptom I should mention, If I "forward" the blank sms message to myself it then displays as expected. CC's of my responses also display normally so it might be easy to fool yourself when trying to manipulate that file?
It's just coffee time here ... [For me]

XFCE Mime editor only shows: application/smil+xml default video
Can that be a problem?
I tried selecting Thunderbird instead of Video but it made no difference.

Yes, all are in a directory "Text Messages" under "Inbox."
Never tried that until now, but it did not fix my problem ...
Notice the third line below:
MIME-Version:1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; type="application/smil"; boundary="__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__"

Actually, I doubt it will make any difference for 2 reason.
1. It displays fine for me and that is pretty much the same MIME definitions I have.
2. And more importantly, the second line defines the entire message as multipart/mixed, which if I recall my MIME standards correctly (don't have time to check it now) the type is irrelevant since it is actually defined individually for each part.
FWIW a quick check of other multipart messages in my inbox show no type defined in that segment of MIME headers.
So, the part of the message which contains the text is defined as you'd expect "text/plain;"
I also don't find doing forwards of much use in diagnosing a problem since you have to know how the UA is going to mangle the message. There used to be a "bounce" plugin for T-Bird which re-transmitted the message without alteration.

Ok, I'll just live with the problem for now and hope it gets better! It looks like F-22 is almost ready and I will install it on the other computer eventually and see what happens there.
Thanks,
Bob

FWIW, RFC 1521 defines the MIME Format of Internet Message Bodies. Within that RFC is the definition for The Multipart/mixed (primary) subtype. In cursory look at the RFC I could find no instance where type= is defined as being used.

So as to leave no stone un-turned, I installed XFCE from the most current Beta and did an update. I then installed T-Bird. I again had no trouble to display the sample messages you posted to the list.

I appreciate your effort. So it seems certain I have a unique problem, I am at a loss to explain why. I've ordered another WD Black drive to replace the failed drive and will do another installation on that in a few days. I can't imagine what has caused the problem, I always do things about the same way and stuff mostly works without a hitch ...

I installed a new hard drive in addition to the others and installed a new copy of F22b from the same USB flash drive. I rsync'd .thunderbird from a copy on the NSF server as I usually do and the iPhone text messages are displayed without any problem. I don't know what is causing the problem with the F-22 on the other drive. However I the other drive will be cleared and used for something else. Hopefully the problem was "cured with a re-install!"
What can I say, sorry for the noise?
