I couldn't try turning off the threading because I couldn't get in to 
the folder that had the bad e-mail and don't know of a way to turn it 
off globally.

Your e-mails up to Apr. 24 seem OK, but had to delete the others. I 
worked backed one day at a time (using vi) and T-Bird always failed 
until I got to the 24th.
