http://kb.mozillazine.org/Entire_mes...n_IMAP_message mentions that mail.imap.fetch_by_chunks controls whether Thunderbird tries to fetch a message body (or any other MIME body part) in chunks. You can toggle that setting in tools -> options -> advanced -> general -> config editor (the Thunderbird equivalent of about
:config) . However, its normally not defined by default in prefs.js (the file that stores the settings, which the config editor edits). In that case you will probably have to right click on the body of the config editor, select Boolean from the context menu, enter mail.imap.fetch_by_chunks as the name of the setting and then select false as its value. That will add the setting.
FYI Default values of settings are stored in omni.ja (a renamed .jar file), but its not safe to edit that file as it may get replaced when Thunderbird updates. Use the config editor.
