Because Thunderbird was written after MIME was a widely-implemented 
standard. So Thunderbird follows the standard, and displays text that's 
marked as text as text.

Gravity looks at the text and attempts to guess whether it's really text 
or not, and decides it's actually text marked as text that should be an 
image.

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
